The Chairman of the Governance Committee reported that the Committee, at its meeting on 23rd January 2019, had received a report on the outcome of the consultation on the Council’s draft proposal to amend the southern boundary of Southwater Parish to encompass the whole of the development at Mulberry Fields. One response to the consultation had been received from Southwater Parish Council, who agreed with the draft proposal.

 

This proposal was the culmination of a four-month community governance review which had followed due process, including two periods of public consultation.

 

            RESOLVED

 

(i)         That the draft proposal to amend the southern boundary of Southwater Parish Council with Shipley Parish Council to encompass the whole of the development at Mulberry Fields, as published for consultation and set out in the attached map, be agreed for implementation with effect from the parish council elections in May 2019.

 

(ii)        That a Reorganisation of Community Governance Order be made to give effect to this decision and all relevant bodies be advised that the order has been made.

 

(iii)       That the Local Government Boundary Commission for England be requested to give effect to the consequential changes to the West Sussex County Council electoral divisions of Southwater & Nuthurst and Billingshurst, arising from the amended boundary between Southwater and Shipley parishes.
