THE parishes of Richmondshire – and the number of councillors serving on them – are being subjected to review.
The process will consider whether the existing arrangements are reflective of the identities and interests of the community in its area - and effective and convenient to the local community.
It will also take into account the impact of community governance arrangements on community cohesion, and the size, population and boundaries of the parishes.
Details of the review is available for inspection at richmondshire.gov.uk and at the district council’s community offices in Colburn, Richmond, Reeth, Hawes and Leyburn.
Comments can be sent to the Electoral Registration Officer, Richmondshire District Council, Swale House, Frenchgate, Richmond, DL10 4JE; or to electoral@richmondshire.gov.uk
All comments must be received by January 3 with draft proposals published in March.
