What we are proposing
The Local Government Boundary Commission is consulting on a new pattern of wards being developed for Fareham Borough Council.
It is proposed that the number of councillors in Fareham should increase from 31 to 32 and the Commission wants to hear what residents and organisations think about their local area. It wants to be sure that its proposals reflect community ties and identities.
The Commission is interested in views on which communities should be part of the same ward. For example, what facilities do people share, what issues do neighbouring communities face, have there been new housing developments that have changed the focus of communities?

People can also give their views by e-mail at reviews@lgbce.org.uk and by post:

A 10-week consultation on new warding arrangements ran until 4 April 2022, but this has now been extended until 11 July 2022 to ensure that The Commission hears what residents and organisations think about what the new warding arrangements should be.
