Today ERYC published draft recommendations for new wards, ward boundaries, and ward names for East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

They are now inviting comments on those recommendations.

The consultation closes on 12 May 2025.

As a result of the draft recommendations for new warding patterns, ERYC propose making changes to the parish electoral arrangements for the following parish and town councils:

• Beverley
• Bridlington
• Cottingham

Have your say

You can take part in the consultation through the ERYC  website, which includes further information about the Commission and the review.

ERYC encourage everyone who has a view on the draft recommendations to contact them, whether you support them or whether you wish to propose alternative arrangements.

ERYC will consider every representation received during consultation, whether it is submitted by an individual, a local group or an organisation.

ERYC will weigh each submission against the legal criteria which they must follow when drawing up electoral arrangements:

• to deliver electoral equality: where each councillor represents roughly the same number of electors as others across the authority;
• that the pattern of wards should, as far as possible, reflect the interests and identities of local communities;
• that the electoral arrangements should provide for effective and convenient local government.

It is important that you take account of the criteria if you are suggesting an alternative pattern of wards.

If you wish to put forward a view, ERYC would also urge you to ensure that evidence supports your submission.

For example, if you wish to argue that two areas should be included in the same electoral ward, make sure you tell us why they should be together, providing evidence about community facilities, ties, organisations, and amenities, rather than simply asserting that they belong together.

The ERYC website features technical guidance that explains the process and policies, as well as guidance on how to take part in each part of the process.

Note: Cllr Meredith has advised that:-

Broomfleet, South Cave, Ellerker, Brantingham, Melton, Welton, Swanland, and North Ferriby would constitute the new three Councillor Dale Ward.
Elloughton-cum-Brough would become a two Councillor Ward.
