Moreton on Lugg community governance review

A community governance review is carried out to consider arrangements for parish councils such as creating, merging, altering or abolishing parish councils, changing a parish council's boundary or the naming of parish councils and their electoral arrangements.

This round of community governance reviews has now been concluded. You can read and listen to the council's decision to agree the recommendations.

Why are we proposing a community governance review for Moreton on Lugg Parish Council?

As part of a county wide consultation with parishes in 2016, a number of parishes came forward to highlight that they wished to either increase or decrease the number of seats on their parish council.

During that consultation, Moreton on Lugg Parish Council noted that there are a small number of properties affected by a border anomaly. It was proposed that the properties would be better represented in the neighbouring parish of Wellington.

The terms of reference contains further information about the review and was approved by Council on 13 October 2017.
