Parish electoral arrangements review
The electoral arrangements in each of the parished areas in Medway have not been reviewed since 2003. And therefore, after the LGBCE review, the council have reviewed the parish areas. This review included the number and configuration of the parish wards, and the number of councillors that should represent each parish and parish ward.
After a consultation exercise across the whole of the parished areas, the council considered and agreed the recommendations of a cross-party working group of councillors and officers at the meeting of Full Council on 23 February 2023.
