Slide7Making a submission
“The two Parish Councils here are in the final stages of producing a joint Kibworths Neighbourhood Plan. It is therefore logical that the new proposed name covering these two parishes reflects the community going forward, i.e. Kibworths ward” – Kibworth Harcourt Parish Council“This area is on a hill and is best located within the Thornton Heath ward, rather than in South Norwood. Despite fronting onto South Norwood Hill, this is a major road barrier (the A215), which is difficult to cross” - Thornton Heath Neighbourhood Association“They go to different secondary schools, have different community centres and focal points, have different bus routes, different youth clubs, different parks – so there is a real north/south split reflected in strong community identities”- Yate Town Council

Slide8Parishes
We cannot create or abolish parishes, or amend their boundariesIf we divide a parish between divisions, we must create parish wardsWe can change parish electoral arrangements only as a direct consequence of our ward proposals
