Boundary Changes
All District Council and Parish Council seats will fall vacant on 2 May 2019. However, there are new District Ward boundaries for these elections and some of the Parish warding arrangements have also changed. There is a reduction in the number of District Council seats from 55 to 45. These 45 District seats are across 41 Wards. Further information on the review can be obtained from the Local Government Boundary Commission for England website (external link).
