14 Boundary Blues Constituency changes proposed by the Boundary Commission as part of a review into the sizes of parliamentary constituencies have been unveiled and have attracted a storm of local criticism. The Commission was tasked with trying to make every constituency within 5% either way of the average number of electors (just under 73,400) except for a handful of ‘protected’ seats, such as Anglesey and the Isle of Wight. Somewhat bizarrely, the proposed new constituency boundaries for Makerfield excludes the entire town of Ashton-in-Makerfield, which moves into a newly formed Leigh South & Atherton constituency. Going in the other direction from the old Leigh constituency is the west half of Leigh. The Firs Lane and Plank Lane areas and half of Leigh town centre will, as proposals stand, be part of the Makerfield constituency. Members of the public are encouraged to go online to www.bcereviews.org.uk/ where they can provide feedback before the consultation closes on 2 August 2021. People can comment on anything from where the proposed new boundary lines are to the names of the constituencies. There will be a further two rounds of consultation in 2022 and following this entire consultation process the Commission will look at all the evidence received and form its final recommendations. Community Day Community groups and charities are being urged to register for a free stall at the Community Day event in Wigan town centre. A stall is available on Saturday 18th September for any local community group or charity as part of Wigan Rotary Club’s Community Day.
