AS the elections returning authority, Mid Sussex District Council is conducting a review of two East Grinstead wards, which will be the subject of a 12-week consultation running from 8 March until 31 May 2013.

The proposals are for:

• The movement of the Imberhorne/Baldwins ward boundary to bring it into line with the District Council boundary.
• The merger of the wards of Town North and Town South back into a single ward known as Town.

East Grinstead Town Council has been contacted to formally submit their views on the proposals, as has West Sussex County Council.

Following the consultation, proposals will be considered by the Council’s Leader and Service Delivery Scrutiny Committee on 2 July and then by Full Council on 24 July 2013. Any changes to be made to the electoral arrangements will come into effect at the next full elections of Parish and Town councillors in May 2015.

Full details are available on the Mid Sussex District Council website at www.midsussex.gov.uk/communitygovernancereviews where there is detailed information about the reviews and consultation arrangements.
