Final recommendations for Worcestershire County Council published

View our final recommendations on our website

Today we published our final recommendations for future electoral arrangements for Worcestershire. We have now completed our electoral review of Worcestershire.

We are extremely grateful to the people of Worcestershire who took the time and effort to send us their views.

We considered every piece of evidence we received before finalising our recommendations.

As a result of our recommendations for new division patterns, we are making changes to the parish electoral arrangements for the following parish and town councils:

·        Belbroughton and Fairfield 

·        Droitwich Spa

·        Evesham

·        Kidderminster

·        Kidderminster Foreign

·        Malvern

·        Stourport-on-Severn

·        Wolverley and Cookley

The changes we have proposed must now be approved by Parliament.

A draft Order – the legal document which brings into force our recommendations – will now be laid before Parliament.

The draft Order will provide for new electoral arrangements for Worcestershire to be implemented at the local elections in 2025.
