Today the Boundary Commission for England (bce) published the responses it received during the consultation period last autumn on the proposals it put forward for boundary changes, in line with Parliamentary legislation. You can see details of these proposals as they affect Walthamstow here.
The map shows the locations of responses across Walthamstow. (Yellow blobs are responses that included counter proposals.) Click here or the picture to go to the page on the bce website (you then need to zoom in to where you want to see). Note that the boundary in red is the proposed new boundary, which is different from the existing constituency boundary for Walthamstow.
The autumn consultation took responses in person and by email. You can read transcripts of the responses in person here (then search for the area etc of your interest), or video recordings of the public sessions that took place in Romford here (list of the London response venues here). The recording of my own response is here. (Transcript here scroll to p 27. I was speaking in a personal capacity rather than as secretary of Walthamstow Labour Party.)
You can from now until 27th March submit comments on these responses from members of the public. Click here for the bce map; click on the 'move' hand to find the response you want to comment on; click on the balloon for that comment and follow the instructions.
Following this secondary consultation, the Commission will be considering all representations received from both consultations, and will consider whether any revisions are needed. If they decide to revise the proposals, they will consult on the revised boundaries. Any such consultation is expected to happen towards the end of 2017, or in early 2018.
