The aim is to hold elections for every councillor and ward in May 2027
The number of councillors and the political map in an East Lancashire borough is to be reviewed. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England is to examine the ward make-up of hyndburn-council>Hyndburn Council.
There are 13 wards with two councillors and three with three. The current political balance is Labour 22, Conservative 11, Independent one and Green one. Conservative group leader Cllr Zak Khan said: “The leader has approached us for our views on the upcoming boundary review, which we will provide in due course. A two-thirds majority is required, so any proposals by the controlling group need to be void of political gerrymandering.”
There will then be further consultation on the draft proposal before final recommendations are produced by the Commission in Spring 2026 and laid before Parliament in order to bring them into force at ‘all out’ elections under the new arrangements in May 2027.
