Birmingham residents have been asked for their input in the drawing up of new ward boundaries.
The independent Local Government Boundary Commission for England has begun an eight-week public consultation and is asking locals to comment on its draft proposals for new council ward boundaries and ward names across Birmingham.
The commission’s recommendations include a proposal to have 19 fewer city councillors. This would mean that, in the future, Birmingham City Council would only have 101 councillors.
The draft recommendations also map out how those councillors should represent 53 single-member wards and 24 two-member wards.
Max Caller CBE, Chair of the Commission, said: ‘We are publishing proposals for a new pattern of council wards across Birmingham and we are keen to hear what local people think of the recommendations.
‘Over the next eight weeks, we are asking local people to tell us if they agree with the proposals or if not, how they can be improved.’
