There's a searchable map of the final recommendations here:

Now St Rads has taken a large chunk out of Tower Hamlets, instead of a pleasant walk to the Baptist Church in Maison Dieu I'll have to risk the dark satanic hills over Priory to get to Curzon Road.

Quite a mess
But then I did warn them
So priory will go on with town and pier and castle. And no shared identity
Some seats will become safer for political parties
Others the opposite
N collor good chance of losing

Interesting sue
Can't see another seat he could win apart from out on the l sticks
But should he get elected he might consider getting into communities
Something lacking from both main parties

As things stand I can't see myself voting in May, Labour are just foisting a candidate on us and i'm not a Tory although i'm saving up to be one. Maybe a well known independent could come along and do well.

Sue does make me laugh at times, since when has Dover's suburb overflow area been "in the sticks" neither is Temple Ewell or Lydden come to that.

So shall I - working on the premise that the fewer times they turn up the less damage they can cause.
Vote for Nathaniel Richards I say!

Howard
The reason for the recent public meeting in the community hall was for just as you explained so many in the present ward not voting

Labour seemed to have learned one lesson Keith, the candidate they put up in our ward in the town council by-election back in 2016 is now standing in the remote frontier town of River where she resides.

I see Aycliffe is now linked to the Town.. We are more remote then some of the others. How can we be linked to the town..

I think you have missed a couple of points Howard
At last Gary people starting to realise these wards just don't fit together
Of course in sure you raised your concerns with the boundary commission when they went to consultation
K Mills don't forget they lost 2 by elections in his ward on his watch
So maybe he's jumping ship before he loses?
If course n richards showed how unpopular he could be for labour
Indeed Howard they moved the imposed lab candidate this time to River
But we see candidates still being put up that are not willing to be part of the cawca
I think that's madness and political suicide in a marginal ward
Then there's the one in elms vale who refuses to meet for a coffee because I made a comment about her
Years ago. That is politics and I understand she may have ambitions to be an MP
Unless she involves herself in communities its just. not going to happen
I did mention all this to Charlott when I met her recently but not sure she or the party are ready to get involved in cawca and community
But it's about choice
They don't have to
Just like we have the choice to tell people not to vote for them

Aycliffe prob has more houses surrounded by countryside then a lot of these places.. in fact some of these so called suburbs are more linked to the town then Aycliffe which has lost its identity again. How can Aycliffe be part of “Town and Castle?” Any Councilors for the new Ward will me more interested in the town then Aycliffe. Also will the crime maps will give a distorted numbers because Aycliffe will be linked to the town... answers on a post card.
By the way my house backs on to country side.. who needs to walk up a steep lane called Minnis Lane
