REVIEW FOR PROPOSED BOUNDARY CHANGES OF FINSTALL PARISH
COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE REVIEW FOR PROPOSED BOUNDARY CHANGES OF FINSTALL PARISH
Bromsgrove District Council received a request from Finstall Parish Council to change the parish boundary. The Electoral Matters Committee of the Council agreed that a Community Governance Review (CGR) be carried out pursuant to Part 4, Chapter 3 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 to consider the following Parish matter:
“The following boundary changes be made to the Parish:
- Field View House: re-drawing of the parish boundary so that it runs alongside the railway line to the south of Field View House, thereby placing Field View House to the north of the parish boundary.
- Rutherford Road area (otherwise known as Hazelcroft): to seek to move the parish boundary northwards to run alongside the railway line, to incorporate Hazelcroft within Finstall parish.”
In undertaking the review, the Council will be guided by Part 4 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (the 2007 Act); the relevant parts of the Local Government Act 1972; Guidance on Community Governance Reviews issued in accordance with section 100(4) of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 by the Department of Communities and Local Government and Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) in March 2010; and the following regulations which guide, in particular, consequential matters arising from the Review: Local Government (Parishes and Parish Councils) (England) Regulations 2008 (SI2008/625); Local Government Finance (New Parishes) Regulations 2008 (SI2008/626).
