Back in January the Boundary Commission set the new boundaries for the County Council elections in May 2013. The number of County Councillors in Oxfordshire are to be reduced. Abingdon as a result will have three County Councillors (rather than three and a bit). New ward areas are Abingdon East, Abingdon North, and Abingdon South.<\/p>\n

More recently the Boundary Commission have been asked to look at new wards for the Abingdon District Council elections (in 2015). Both County and District Councils are run by Cabinets with ordinary Councillors or members having less influence. So fewer ordinary members are thought necessary.<\/p>\n

Currently there are 14\u00a0District Councillors in Abingdon, \u00a0in seven 2 Member wards. This number needs to be reduced to 10 Councillors. So the Vale of White Horse \u00a0District Council have put forward a scheme with five 2 Member wards.
\n\"Abingdon
\nAbingdon-on-Thames Town Council do not really agree with the reduction in the number of councillors, but of the options put forward seem to agree with the idea of five 2 Member wards, although some individual Councillors have also written in with the idea of ten 1 Member wards. <\/p>\n

It is up to the Boundary Commission to decide what is best and define the exact boundaries, after further consultation. I found this information on their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
