Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland

The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland is an independent organization responsible for reviewing and adjusting local council boundaries. Its goal is to ensure fair representation, effective local governance, and efficient service delivery by regularly analyzing population changes and community needs. The Commission conducts consultations, then proposes boundary changes or council electoral arrangements, which are implemented after approval. This process helps maintain balanced and functional local government areas, ensuring residents are fairly represented and local elected officials can govern effectively.
