The Boundary Review Committee wishes to inform the public that, following the public consultation that took place between 9 January and 20 February 2013 on the proposals to draw up constituency boundaries for the House of Keys into twelve constituencies of two Members each, it is now giving consideration to a number of changes.
The most significant of these are:
i) to move Maughold from the proposed North constituency to the East;
ii) for Birch Hill to be retained within the Onchan constituency and for most of Howstrake including Lakeside Gardens to be moved into the East constituency.
The Committee wishes to invite those affected by these changes to examine the revised draft maps on the Boundary Review website at http://www.gov.im/cso/brc/ or at the Commissioners’ offices in Onchan, Laxey and Lonan and, if they wish, to respond with their views by email or letter; the contact details are below. Responses should be received by 5pm on Tuesday 9 April 2013.
The consultation on the revised constituencies concluded on 20 February and the Boundary Review Committee is seeking views only the proposals specified above. Responses in respect of other parts of the review are not required.
