Maidstone Borough Council, parish council and Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) election results will be available as soon as possible. When these are available they will be displayed on our results page.
The
Democratic and Electoral Services Manager outlined that the report
set out a structured approach to the review. It was explained that an initial decision on Whole
Council Elections was required, as the introduction of
single-member wards could only be considered if Whole Council
Elections were agreed.
In
response to questions from the Committee, the Electoral and
Democratic Services Manager said that:
·If a decision was made not to move to Whole Council
Elections, then it was possible to conduct a review of boundaries
through a Community Governance Review.
·If a Community Governance Review was required, it
was important to prepare fully for this, as the review had to be
completed within 12 months.
RESOLVED:That:
1.The new approach, structure and timetable for the
review as set out in Appendix 1 be agreed.
2.The factors listed in Appendix 2 be included in the
report on Whole Council Elections in November 2019.
