Boundary Commission Review of Redditch 2022

Electoral Review of Redditch Borough

An electoral review looks at whether ward boundaries and councillor numbers still provide fair representation for local residents.

The review was carried out by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England and completed in January 2023. The new arrangements were approved on 16 June 2023 and came into effect for the May 2024 local elections.

Why was the review needed?

The previous review took place in 2002. Since then, changes in population meant a review was needed to ensure councillors represent a similar number of residents across the borough.

What changed?

The review considered:

• The number of wards
• Ward names
• Ward boundaries
• The number of councillors for each ward

Under the new arrangements:

• Redditch is divided into nine wards
• Each ward is represented by three councillors
• There are 27 councillors in total

Some residents may also have a different polling station as a result of the changes.
