Local Government Boundary Commission for England

The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) is an independent body that reviews and proposes changes to local government boundaries in England. Its primary role is to ensure that electoral arrangements, such as the size of councils and the number of councillors, reflect local populations fairly. The Commission conducts consultations, gathers evidence, and produces reports, ultimately recommending boundary changes to Parliament. This process helps improve local governance by ensuring that communities are represented effectively and that electoral areas are balanced in terms of population.
