Welcome to the third edition of my regular monthly column for the Erewash Conservatives Website.Much of my focus during October has been on producing the Conservative submission to the Boundaries Commission regarding ward boundaries and names, following their decision that Erewash will have 47 Councillors, a reduction of 4, with effect from the next Borough elections in May 2015. The Commission have called for ideas on how the various wards should look like and the closing date for this exercise is 11 November. They will then give this matter a lot of thought and publish a draft decision on the warding arrangements in February 2014. There will then be a further consultation period before a final decision is made.
