Everything about Cheshire West And Chester totally explained
Cheshire West and Chester is the name for a new
unitary authority area in the
ceremonial county of
Cheshire. It will come into force from April 2009, as part of the
2009 structural changes to local government in England, when the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill is enacted, and will replace the boroughs of
Ellesmere Port and Neston,
Vale Royal and
Chester District. The equivalent unitary authority in the other half of the county will be called
Cheshire East. The decision to create the Cheshire West unitary authority was announced on
25 July2007 following a consultation period, in which a proposal to create a single Cheshire unitary authority was rejected.
Politics and administration
The
electoral wards proposed for the new unitary authority would be the same as those used in the former Cheshire county council elections, with each ward electing 3
councillors.. Since the
Cheshire council elections, 2005 there have been 11
Conservative controlled wards, 10
Labour controlled wards and 3
Liberal Democrat controlled wards within the proposed unitary authority boundaries, suggesting that the council would notionally be under no overall control, with the Conservatives as largest party. Due to the resignation of Cllr. Shirley Harris, there will be a by-election in the Abbey division.
The first
elections to the authority took place on
1 May2008., with the
Conservatives gaining control with a majority of 38 councillors. The members will sit as a shadow council until that'll take full powers from April 2009.
