The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) is currently conducting a review of Swindon.
The aim is to make sure councillors each represent roughly the same number of electors and that ward arrangements help the council work effectively.
Earlier this year, the LGBCE carried out an initial public consultation to better understand communities and identities.
It has now launched a follow-up consultation on new boundaries being proposed for council wards and wants to hear what residents and local organisations think about the proposals which include:
- 57 councillors - the same as currently
- 24 wards - there are currently 20
No wards will be more than 10 per cent away from the average number of electors per ward - currently four wards are
- Each councillor will represent an average of 3,109 electors - currently one ward is more than 30 per cent away from the average
People can find out more here and have their say here before 16 September
