Review of parishes and wards in Buckinghamshire

Newton Longville Parish Council have proposed an increase in the number of parish councillors from 8 to 10.

This is being proposed because of an increase in workload caused by increasing population and taking on the management of the community hall. Also, a development of 1,855 new homes is being built in the parish over the next five to ten years.

No changes to the parish boundary are being requested.

Standards and General Purposes Committee considered the request at its meeting on 4 April 2024 and agreed for a Community Governance Review to be undertaken.

Feedback will be considered by councillors, along with other relevant information. We will then consider the future community governance arrangements for the area.

Standards and General Purposes Committee will consider and approve the draft recommendations and decide on the next stages of the Community Governance Review in Summer 2024. This is when the final recommendations are expected to be published and the Community Governance Review ends.

If the proposal is taken forward, the Reorganisation Order would be made in Autumn 2024. The Order would set out the timetable for change.
