New council electoral boundaries - again.
Hopefully, this review will be the last for several years.
For the villages in Holt & Paxcroft Division, the suggestions are as follows:-
Option 1.
HOLT, Monkton Farleigh, STAVERTON, South Wraxall.
Part of Melksham Without, BROUGHTON GIFFORD, Atworth.
HILPERTON.
Steeple Ashton, Great Hinton, Keevil, SEMINGTON, Bulkington, Seend, Poulshot.
Option 2.
Melksham Without (part), HILPERTON MARSH, BROUGHTON GIFFORD.
Atworth, HOLT, STAVERTON.
HILPERTON 'VILLAGE', Great Hinton, Keevil, SEMINGTON, Bulkington, Steeple Ashton.
HILPERTON 'PAXCROFT MEAD', part of east Trowbridge.
The WCC Boundary Review Working Party meets on 17th March, following which one or both of these options will go out to consultation before the preferred solution is submitted to the Boundary Committee for England.
I'm sure that the parish councils will have some interesting comments to make especially, I would guess, Hilperton and Staverton.
In addition, Trowbridge Town Council have their own suggestion for the 'Trowridge cluster' which is different to both of the WCC options!
