New body to oversee boundary reviews
On 1 April 2010 responsibility for setting local government boundaries transferred to the new independent Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE), removing the function of the Boundary Committee for England from the Electoral Commission.
Our role
Our English Offices were established in February 2007 in the North of England, the Midlands, the South West and the South of England regions. The regions are based on the European Parliamentary regional boundaries.
We use our specialist knowledge of the regions to answer enquiries and requests for advice on electoral matters. One important role has been to promote the performance standards scheme as a key tool to drive performance at a local level.
