In February 2016 the Boundary Commission for England (BCE) announced a new review of Parliamentary constituencies in England.
Last year we submitted our final comments on the BCE's review recommendations as part of their consultation process. The BCE has now submitted its final report to parliament, including a recommendation that the villages of the Blackhalls Division of DCC be removed from the Easington parliamentary constituency and placed in a new, revised Hartlepool parliamentary constituency.
Naturally we are disappointed at the BCE's recommendation to place our villages in a new Hartlepool parliamentary constituency, and our comments published in December last year outlined our reasons for that position (please see the post dated Friday 8 December 2017 for details of our objections).
If the BCE's final recommendations are subsequently endorsed by parliament it should be noted that they will relate to parliamentary boundaries only. Council ward boundaries and services will remain unchanged.
