The first stage of the review ran for 9 weeks from 15 July 2008 to 15 September 2008. The Committee consulted locally to help decide how many councillors the new Council should have. Anyone interested was encouraged to make their views known. Stage two of the review is now underway and will run from 16 September 2008 to 21 October 2008. The Boundary Committee will be deliberating on the County Council's submission to Stage 1 of the review and prepare some draft recommendations.
