Sweeping changes have been proposed to the electoral boundaries of Northumberland in a bid to combat inequality between council wards.
The proposals, made by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCS), differ significantly from those made by the county council themselves in January - but residents will now have the chance to have their say before any changes are implemented.
The review was trigged after Northumberland met the LGBCE's threshold for "electoral inequality" in a number of divisions, with one ward - Cramlington West - set to have 85% more residents than the county average by 2028 due to an influx of housing developments.
