Stage One

Further consultation on council size - 5 June 2008 - 18 July 2008

Following consideration of the evidence received during Stage One of the review of the new Cornwall unitary authority, we carried out a period of further consultation on council size. This ran from 5 June 2008 to 18 July 2008. On 15 August 2008, the Committee wrote to the Cornwall Implementation Executive regarding the outcome of the consultation on council size. The letter is below:

The submissions we received during the consultation period are below:

Implementation Executive - 123-member proposal (now outdated) (PDF)

On 9 September Implementation Executive submitted revised figures for its 123 member scheme. These figures contain minor modifications to reflect the most up to date information and correct small errors in the original figures. The modified figures supersede those submitted in its original 123 member scheme.
