Initial proposals for new Parliamentary constituency boundaries in the Eastern region 15
41
To bring the electorate of the Great Yarmouth constituency within 5% of the electoral quota we have transferred to it the District of South Norfolk ward of Thurlton (from the South Norfolk constituency). We propose to include in our South Norfolk constituency the wards (from the District of South Norfolk) that surround and make up the town of Wymondham (Northfields, Rustens, Abbey, Town, and Cromwells). These wards are in part included in the South Norfolk constituency to make up For the transfer of the Thurlton ward to Great Yarmouth.

The transfer of the Wymondham wards to the South Norfolk constituency was also required to offset the inclusion of the South Norfolk District wards of Cringleford and Old Costessey, in our proposed Norwich South constituency, to bring the latter within 5% of the electoral quota. In order to bring the Norwich North constituency above the lower 5% limit we propose to transfer to it the City of Norwich ward of Wensum from Norwich South.
A proposal at this stage but.........

Apparently the Wymondham change may not happen on account of sheer numbers of new planning permissions given in Wymondham BUT we wait and see
Another twist in the mix is the latest thinking for the Parish of Wymondham for District and Parish elections which is on the south norfolk web site to comment upon
In summary BUT the same as before, nothing in stone
6 district councillors NOT 5 as now
3 new wards not 5 as now, called North , Central and South which will have 5 ward councillors in each AND 2 district councillors with boundary changes a plenty. We would be in the South ward and the same as now BUT with Harts Farm estate in the mix as well.
It makes it easier to understand where we all are and with a view for use in the 2019 elections.
If you feel strongly please let South Norfolk know and the Boundary commission for the DISTRICT review NOT the Parliamentary review
