Recommendations from the Community Governance Review Council Date: 10 th November 2016 from the Borough. Each parish, as a separate entity, negotiated as to which services these were. 3.4 For every stage of the Review, Members have kept in mind the statutory duties as set out in Section 93 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007, together with the statutory guidance on community governance reviews issued by the Secretary of State and the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. 3.5 Under section 93 of the 2007 Act: “(4) The principal council must have regard to the need to secure that community governance within the area under review— (a) (b) reflects the identities and interests of the community in that area, and is effective and convenient.” and the statutory guidance gives further assistance with regard to factors for consideration such as community cohesion together with size, population and boundaries of a local community or parish. Stage One 3.6 Stage One of the Community Governance Review commenced on 5 th December 2015 and was reported to Cabinet on 16 th June 2016 (Cabinet Minute 8, 2016/2017 refers). The all-party Scrutiny Committee reviewed the Cabinet decision-making process supporting this decision on 20 th June 2016 (Scrutiny Minute 4, 2016/17 refers) and Council noted the Cabinet minute on (Council Minutes 31 and 36, 2016/2017 refer). A total of over 700 residents attended 32 drop-in sessions across the Borough, which were supported by ward members and officers. In addition to paper submission forms, the Council provided a dedicated CGR email address and an on-line facility to make submissions during the consulation period. As a result of this, 258 submissions (including two petitions) were recorded from both residents and interested groups/organisations. A copy of the submissions, with personal information duly redacted, was made available on the Council’s website and in the Members’ Room. 3.7 In reviewing the submissions, Cabinet took note of the need to provide more opportunities to inform and engage with those who had responded, so that there could be more adequate knowledge of the work of parish council and how they might both better reflect community identities and provide for effective and convenient community governance. To assist the discussions, Cabinet approved two illustrative maps to provide a visual context of how additional parishes might look. However, these maps did not constitute proposals.

This motion was defeated (Council Minute 89, 2015/16 refers). 3.11 Stage Two sought further detailed suggestions from residents of the Borough on possible arrangements for parishes so as to enable the council to formulate a proposal for public consultation in Stage Three. To that end additional public engagement activities, using 2 illustrative maps (Appendix Two A and Appendix Further information on the subject of this report can be obtained from Stephen Taylor, 01793 463012, staylor@swindon.gov.uk.
