WEST Devon residents are being urged to have their say on new proposals regarding council ward boundaries. The consultation by the independent Local Government Boundary Commission on draft ward proposals across West Devon closes on July 21. The commission's draft recommendations propose that West Devon Borough Council should have 31 councillors in the future, the same as the current arrangements. The proposals mean those councillors would represent three single-member, eleven two-member and two three-member wards across the borough. The recommendations propose changes to ward boundaries throughout the borough. Max Caller, chair of the commission, said: 'We are asking local people to log on to our website or visit their local library to have a look at our proposals for new ward boundaries for West Devon. 'We are keen to hear what local people think of the recommendations and to tell us if they agree with the proposals. 'If you don't agree with the boundaries we have drawn, we would like to hear your alternatives.  'Our review aims to deliver electoral equality for voters in elections to West Devon Borough Council. 'This means that each councillor represents a similar number of electors so that everyone's vote in council elections is worth roughly the same regardless of where you live. 'We also aim to ensure that the council's wards reflect, as far as possible, the interests and identities of local communities across the borough. 'We will consider all the submissions we receive whoever they are from and whether your evidence applies to the whole of West Devon or just a part of the borough.' People can visit the commission's interactive consultation portal to look at detailed maps of the commission's proposals and get all the advice they need to make a submission during the consultation.
