PROPOSALS FOR THE FUTURE ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS TOR THE COUNTY OF ESSEX
1. The last Order under Section 51 of the Local Government Act 1972 in
relation to electoral arrangements for districts in the county of Essex was made
on 2k January 1978. As required by Section 63 and Schedule 9 of the Act we have
now reviewed the electoral arrangements for that county, using the procedures
we had set out in our Report No. 6.
2. We informed the Essex Countv Council in a consultation letter dated
15 May 1979 that we proposed to conduct the review, and sent copies of the letter
to all local authorities and parish meetings in the county, to the MPs representing
the constituencies concerned, to the headquarters of the main political parties
and to the editors both of local newspapers circulating in the county and of the
local government press. Notices in the local precs announced the start of the
review and invited comments from members of the public and from interested bodies*
3« On 2^ January 19 0 the County Council submitted to us a draft scheme in
which they suggested 99 electoral divisions for the county, each returning
1 member in accordance with Section 6(2)(a) of the Act.
*f. We considered this scheme together with the views expressed by local
interests. On 10 June 19&> we issued draft proposals which we sent to all those
who had received our consultation letter, or commented on the County Council's
draft scheme. Notices were inserted in the local press announcing that the draft
proposals had been issued and could be inspected at the County Council's offices*
5. We incorporated the County Council's draft scheme in our draft proposals
subject to certain modifications which we adopted either to produce a more even
standard of representation or to take account of comments we had received on
the scheme. A reduction by one in the number of divisions in Chelmsford Boroughhnd the effect of reducing the total size of the Council from 99 to 98.
6. The modifications we made were as follows:
(a) Braintree., District
We replaced k of the 7 electoral divisions proposed by the County
Council with alternative divisions suggested by Braintree District Council*
1 '
(b) Chelmeford Borough
We reduced' by one the number of divisions in the Borough, by incorporating
part of the Danbury and Boreham division in the Springfield division and the
remainder in the Woodham Ferrers division (which we renamed 'Woodham Ferrers
and Danbury ' ) . We took the view that the Borough would be over-represented
with the allocation of 10 councillors resulting from the County Council's
draft scheme, though we were aware that the arrangement of 9 divisions that we
included in our draft proposals might not be the moat appropriate to achieve
our objective. We therefore said we would be prepared to consider alternative
schemes providing for 9 divisions in the Borough.
(c) Colchester Borough
We replaced 3 of the 9 electoral divisions proposed by the County Council
with 3 alternative divisions suggested by Essex County Labour Party; Of the
County Council's proposed divisions that we accepted we renamed the Clingoe
division 'Wivenhoe St Andrew', as suggested by Wivenhoe Town Council, and the
Old Heath division 'Colne1, as suggested by East Donyland Parish Council.
(d) Epping Forest District
We replaced *t of the 8 electoral divisions proposed by the County Council
with alternative divisions suggested by Epping Forest District Council and
Ongar Parish Council, and 2 with alternative divisions suggested. by Essex
County Labour Party and Epping Forest Constituency Labour Party.
(e) Maldon District
We replaced 2 of the 3 electoral divisions proposed by the County Council
with alternative divisions suggested by the Dengie Hundred Group of Parishes.
Uttlesford District
We replaced 3 of the 4 electoral divisions proposed by the County Council
with alternative divisions suggested by the Saffron Walden Constituency
Conservative Association.
7. We received comments in response to our draft proposals from the Essex County
Council, 7 district councils, 2k parish councils, 2 town councils, 2 county
councillors, 13 district councillors, 14 political associations and 25 individuals
or groups of individuals. A list of those who wrote to us is given at Appendix 1
to this report.
8. Essex County Council accepted our draft proposals for 9 of the 1** districts
(Basildon, Brentwood, Castle Point, Earlow, Rochford, Southend-on-Sea, Tendring,
Thurrock and Uttlesford). In the Braintree district they accepted our proposals
except that in relation to our Booking and Braintree West divisions they forwarded
alternative suggestions made by one of the local members for the area, County
Councillor 0 R M Sebag-Montefiore. They indicated that they wished to express
no preference as between these suggestions and our own draft proposals, which were
supported by County Councillor Gilthorpe, the other local member for the area*
In the other 4 districts (Chelmsford, Colchester, Epping Forest and Maldon) they
urged ua to retain their draft scheme. . :
other9« The/comments we received can be summarised district by district as follows:-
(a) Basildon District
Basildon, Billericay and Wickford Conservative Association and the Laindon
Branch of that Association put forward an alternative which they thought would
better reflect local ties and have better boundaries than our proposed Basildon
e?rouch, Basildon Fryerns, Basildon Gloucester Park, Basildon Laindon and
Basildon Westley Heights electoral divisions. Essex County Labour Party
supported our draft proposals.
(b) Braintree District
Braintree District Council, Essex County Labour Party and County Councillor
Gilthorpe wrote in support of our draft proposals. County Councillor
Sebag-Montefiore thought that rural and urban areas should not be linked as
in our Bocking division and put forward alternative suggestions for this and
the adjoining Braintree West division.
One private individual put forward an alternative arrangement for the
Braintree East, Witham Southern and Withara Northern electoral divisions
which he considered would provide better linkages between villages and towns.
(c) Brentwood District
Brentwood and Ongar Constituency Labour Party and Essex County Labour Party
objected to our draft proposals for the Brentwood South and Brentwood Central
electoral divisions and preferred to retain the existing divisions on the grounds
that they followed the natural boundary of a railway line. One district councillor
and 13 private individuals made similar objections.
(d) Castle Point District
Essex County Labour Party repeated their earlier arguments for alternative
divisions which would link rather than separate the Benfleet and Canvey Island areas.
(e) Chelmsford Borough
The Essex County Council objected to the reduction in the number of divisions for
the Borough and urged us to revert to their draft scheme for 10 divisions.
Chelmsford Borough Council also opposed our draft proposals and supported the County
Council's draft scheme subject to one minor amendment. Great Waltham Parish Council,
Danbury Parish Council and Boreham Parish Council all preferred the County Council's
draft scheme to our draft proposals. Broomfield Parish Council repeated their
arguments for the retention of the existing division in which they were located*
Woortham Ferrers Parish Council asked that East Hanningfeld Parish be transferred
from the Stock to the Woodhara Ferrers and Danbury electoral division. The Chelmsford
Liberal Association considered that the view that the Borough would be over-
represented with 10 councillors was fully justified and responded to the invitation
we attached to our draft proposals by putting forward an alternative scheme of
9 divisions for the Borough. The Essex County Labour Party also agreed that the
Borough would be properly represented with nine members,
(f) Colchester Borough
The Essex County Council asked us to look again at the Constable, Drury and
Park divisions in their draft scheme which we had modified and to revert to
their original name, Old Heath, for our Colne division, on the grounds that it
was more appropriate for reasons of geography. Colchester Borough Council
agreed with our draft proposals except that they too preferred the name Old
Heath for our Colne division. The New Town Ward of the Colchester Constituency
Labour Party, six borough councillors and one county councillor likewise
opposed our renaming of Old Heath division. Essex County Labour Party agreed
our draft proposals but preferred the names of Old Heath to Colne, and St
Andrews and Wivenhoe to Wivenhoe St Andrew* East Donyland Parish Council and
Wivenhoe Town Council supported the proposed renaming of the Old Heath and
Clingoe electoral divisions. One private individual suggested that the Drury
and Maypole electoral divisions be renamed. The Colchester Division Conservative
Association supported our draft proposals because they avoided the three-way
splitting of the Lexden ward which was a feature of the County Council's draft
scheme. • .
(g) Epping Forest District
The Essex County Council preferred their own draft scheme for- the two
Loughton divisions, and for the Cbigwell and Ongar divisions. They s&w no
good reasons for the changes we had made, and in the latter case drew attention
to the imblance in the electorates that would result;.from our"draft"propoaale»
Epping Forest District Council also objected to ourdraftproposals for the two Lough ton
electoral divisions but supported the inclusion of the Parish of Lambourne
in the Ongar division. One district councillor and 2 private individuals
supported our draft proposals as they affected the Loughton divisions. Epping
Forest Conservative Association supported our draft proposals except in the
case of the Loughton divisions where they preferred the County Council's draft
scheme. Essex County Labour Party and Epping Forest Constituency Labour Party
welcomed our draft proposals for the Loughton divisions but were concerned
about the siae of the Waltham Abbey division. They suggested an alternative
involving the transfer of the High Beach ward to the North Weald and Nazeing
division. Two private individuals also made the same objection about the
Waltham Abbey division. Ongar Parish Council put forward again their earlier
suggestion for the transfer of the Sheering ward to the North Weald and Nazeing
division to reduce the area of the Ongar division.
(h) Harlow District
Essex County Labour Party and Harlow District Labour Party accepted our
draft proposals.
(i) Haldon District
The Essex County Council objected to our draft proposals on the grounds
that they divided the town of Haldon, and sought a return to their draft scheme.
Essex County Labour Party, Longford and Ulting Pariah Council, the Charter
Trustees of the Town of Maldon, Maldon Branch Labour Party, Heybridge Liberal
Association, 3 private individuals and one district councillor also opposed our
draft proposals. On the other hand Maldon District Council, 12 Parish Councils
and Maldon and Rochford Conservative Association supported our draft proposals.
One district councillor also supported our draft proposals but suggested that our
proposed Tollesbury division be named 'Thurstable1.
(j) Rochford District
Essex County Labour Party and Ashingdon Parish Council accepted our draft
proposals,
(k) Southend-on-£ea Borough
Essex County Labour Party accepted our draft proposals. Three district
councillors, on behalf of 216 residents, Leigh Ratepayers' Association, Southend
West Liberal and Radical Association and 3 private individuals objected to our
draft proposals because part of the Leigh ward would be included in the Chalkwell
division. We also received a late request from County Councillor David Cotgrove.,
on behalf of a number of borough councillors and other individuals.that the name
of the Shoebury division be changed to Shoeburyness; this requsst was subsequently
supported by Mr Teddy Taylor MP.
(l) Tendrinft District
Essex County Labour Party accepted our draft proposals. One private
individual suggested that in the case of the Tendring Rural East and Tendring
Rural West electoral divisions the description 'Rural' was superfluous.
(m) Thurrock District
Essex County Labour Party and Thurrock Constituency Labour Party urged an
amendment to our draft proposals as they affected the Grays Thurrock and Tilbury
electoral divisions, which they thought would produce better boundaries. The
Thurrock District Council also wrote to us in support of this amendment. A private
individual suggested an amendment to the boundary between the Grays Thurrock division
and the Orsett and Stifford division.
(n) Uttlesford District
Uttlesford District Council and Wimbuah Pariah Council accepted our draft
proposals.
10. When we camo to reassess our draft proposals we took account of all the comments
we had received and came to the following conclusions: -
(a) Basildon District .
We could see no justification for adopting the alteration suggested by the
Conservative Association to our draft proposals which were otherwise acceptable
locally.
(b) Braintree District
There was no support for the arguments put forward by Councillor Sebag-
Montefiore in favour of changing our draft proposals for the Booking division, and
his alternative did not offer any numerical advantage. We therefore preferred our
draft proposals.
(c) Brentwood District
The arguments in favour of retaining the existing Brentwood South and Brentwood
Central di visions had been brought out in comments on the County Council's draft
scheme. The comments on our draft proposals had not produced any significant new
evidence and we saw no reason to modify our draft proposals.
Castle Point District
The arguments for linking Benfleet and Canvey Island areas had similarly been
deployed earlier and no fresh evidence had emerged to cause us to change our view
that the draft proposals were preferable for geographical reasons and in order to
retain compatibility with District wards.
(e) Chelmsford Borough
We were not convinced by the reasons put forward by the Essex County Council
for reverting to 10 divisions rather than 9 for the Borough. On the Council's own
forecasts of electorates for 198 the precise entitlement for the Borough on the
basis of a 98 member Council was 9-31 .(or 9-^1 on the basis of a 99 member Council),
and in accordance with the practice normally followed by the Commission the
appropriate allocation was the nearest whole number, ie 9«
The alternative scheme for 9 divisions submitted, in response to our invitation,
by the Chelmsford Liberal Association was numerically superior to our draft
proposals but it had not been publicly advertised. We therefore thought it
appropriate to ask the Essex County Council and the Chelrasford Borough Councils for
their comments on it before reaching conclusions: copies of our letter were sent to
the political parties. In response both Councils expressed reservations about the
Liberal scheme and reiterated their strong preference for a 10 member scheme.
Having considered the matter further in the lir;ht of these comments we decided to
adhere to our draft proposals.
(f) Colchester Borough .
As requested by the County Council we carefully reconsidered our proposals for the
Borough but concluded that the balance of local opinion appeared to be in favour of
the" substance of our draft proposals and therefore decided against reverting to the
County Council's draft scheme. However we saw the force of the arguments in favour
of changing the name of our Colne division back to Old Heath, and accepted this
suggested alteration.
(g) Spping Forest District
We found there were sound arguments either way in relation to the two Loughton
divisions and the Chigwell and Ongar divisions. In both cases it was a question of theprecise weight to be given to numerical considerations and to local feeling about
community of interest. On balance we thought it appropriate to revert to the
County Council's draft scheme in both instances. We were faced with a similar
situation in relation to the Labour Party's suggestion for the transfer of High
Beach ward from the Waltham Abbey division to the North Weald and Nazeing division.
In this instance we thought it appropriate to give greater weight to the numerical
considerations and to accept the suggested .transfer which gave a distinctly more
even standard of representation.
(h) Maldon District
In weighing up the arguments for and against our draft proposals for two
divisions in the Maldon District on vhich thars "was disagreement Me had in mind that
8
we had made the modification to the County Council's draft scheme in the light of a
considerable volume of objection to that scheme and of support for the alternative
we had adopted, in which we also saw advantages in terms of geography. After careful
consideration we came to the conclusion that although there was a clear difference
of opinion locally and there were strong arguments for both points of view, on balance
it would be in the interests of effective and convenient local government to adhere
to our draft proposals*
(i) Southend-on-Sea Borough
Our draft proposals for the Chalkwell and Leigh divisions were identical to
the County Council's scheme* The objections to them therefore came at a very
late stage in the review* The effect of making the suggested transfer of an
area to Leigh division would be to produce a numerically inferior result. We did
not think this was something that we could accept. In relation to the late
suggestion for a change of name in the Shoebury division, we noted that the County
and Borough Councils had already indicated opposition to this, in the interests of
maintaining consistency between ward and divisional names* We did not therefore
think we should accept the suggestion*
(j) Tendring District
We decided against the suggestion for a change in the names of the Tendring
Rural East and fiural West divisions which had otherwise proved acceptable locally,
(k) Thurrock District
The suggestions for minor changes in the boundaries of two pairs of divisions
in the Thurrock District were again ones that related to part of the draft scheme
which we had adopted in our draft proposals, and that had not been brought out at
the earlier stage. Though the Thurrook District Council supported the amendments
suggested by the Labour Parties the County Council did not; we were not convinced
by the case for adopting them*
11. Subject to the change in name of one division in Colchester Borough (para 10(f))
and the changes to several divisions in Epping Forest District described in
para 10(g) we decided to confirm our draft proposals as our final proposals for
the County.
12. .Details of these final proposals are set out in Schedules 1 and 2 to this
report and on the attached map. Schedule 1 gives the names of the electoral
divisions. A detailed description of the boundaries of the proposed electoral
divisions, as defined on the map, is set out in Schedule 2.
