A CONSULTATION on proposals that would mean changes to all but one of Redcar and Cleveland’s current council wards will close next month.

The recommendations have been drawn up by the independent Local Government Boundary Commission for England.

Professor Colin Mellors, Chair of the Commission, said: “This is the last chance for local people to have their say on ward boundaries for all borough councillors in Redcar and Cleveland.

"We want to hear evidence from the people who know Redcar and Cleveland best about the shape of local communities across the borough before we finalise our recommendations in June.”

People can have their say directly by visiting: https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk/node/10378/ before April 16.

The full recommendations and detailed maps are also available on the Commission’s main website at: www.lgbce.org.uk/current-reviews/north-east/redcar-and-cleveland/redcar-and-cleveland
