New boundaries set for Ashfield
The independent Local Government Boundary Commission for England has published its final recommendations for the drawing of new boundaries for each council ward across Ashfield District Council.
The Commission proposes that Ashfield should be represented by 35 councillors in the future, two more than the current arrangements - and that those councillors should represent 13 single-member wards, eight two-member wards and two three-member wards across the district.
The new arrangements must now be implemented by Parliament and will come into force at the council elections in 2015.
