Electoral arrangements: Bearsted and Downswood
24th August 2023
Residents may recall that the Borough’s proposal to change the parish electoral arrangements was discussed by Downswood Parish Council last year. Two Parish Councillors attended a workshop that had been organised by MBC and a link to the proposal was shared on the parish website.
Whilst currently awaiting an update from MBC, we can advise that the Order is displayed on the Government website - this came into force on the day after the Order was made on 14 June 2023 - and the electoral ward for the parish is now Bearsted and Downswood.
