Some minor additional clarifications had been made to the report which would be submitted to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England the following day.
In response to a question, the Director of Support Services confirmed that once the submission had been accepted by the Boundary Commission, then the review of Ward boundaries (not Parish boundaries) would begin.
There was no debate and Members unanimously confirmed the recommendation to submit the council size proposal to Local Government Boundary Commission for England.
