North Tyneside Tories have branded new proposed council ward boundaries from the local authority a "dog's dinner".
The local authority is in the process of examining its elective wards to submit proposals to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE). The new boundaries, put together as a cross-party effort, are meant to encourage a roughly equal number of electors per ward (8,268), efficient government, and united communities.
The proposals are set to increase and decrease the size of certain wards as well as creating entirely new ones. However, the draft boundaries have created consternation among local Tories.
