jgharston Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Originally posted by t020 Your thoughts please? No map provided, so I've thrown one together at http://www.mdfs.net/User/JGH/Docs/Politics/ParlReview/per1.htm The figure for East Ecclesfield is wrong. BC quote 10,665; it should be 14,193-ish. Penistone - looks sensible and logical South-East - looks sensible and logical Brightside/Hallam/Heeley/Central - eh? Hmmm. Let's spread across these huge valleys... I'll be putting together a submission, like I did with the Local Review. Consultation only runs for six weeks! Closes on 29th October. -- JGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBoy Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Hmm, Stannington ward becoming part of Hallam? Interesting. I wonder how this will affect Hallam's make-up - i.e. its claim to have the highest proportion of professionals in any constituency and the most affluent constituents outside London.

Tony Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I don't think that many of us who live there really care about that much. Can't see it making a difference to which MP gets in, but I can see the Conservatives getting further and further away from regaining the seat once Stannington is included. The Hallam seat looks safe for Nick Clegg and the Lib-Dems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Scarlet Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I don't see any differences... MPs will still vaguely do their job... One thing strikes me though: SHEFFIELD, BRIGHTSIDE AND HILLSBOROUGH - Burngreave, Firth Park, Hillsborough, Shiregreen and Brightside, Southey. SHEFFIELD CENTRAL - Broomhill, Central, Crookes, Nether Edge, Walkley. SHEFFIELD, HALLAM - Beauchief and Greenhill, Dore and Totley, Ecclesall, Fulwood, Stannington. SHEFFIELD, HEELEY - Arbourthorne, Darnall, Gleadless Valley, Graves Park, Manor Castle. SHEFFIELD SOUTH EAST - Beighton, Birley, Mosborough, Richmond, Woodhouse. There are aprts of Sheffield missing ! What if you live in Sheffield but aren't in tha tlist of area, does that mean they won't let you vote anymore (lol) ?

Andy C Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Well, all of Bradway is still in Sheffield Hallam... Hallam looks unchanged actually. The issue in Bradway is the council wards rather than the MP constituncies. Bradway has 2 councillors - Upper Bradway has been hived off into Greenhill & Beachief ward, with the rest of Bradway in Dore & Totley ward. This has resulted in the council's area panel arranging a meeting that involved the Bradway action group to discuss Bradway issues, but only inviting those residents that fall into the Dore & Totley bit - those Bradway residents in the Greenhill & Beachief bit were not invited. I'm sure some faceless person in whitehall just shut his eyes and drew a line on the map, judging by the total disregard shown for the communities involved.

max Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Captain_s, the ones missing are Stocksbridge, East Ecclesfield and West Ecclesfield which will be going into the new Pensitone & Stocksbridge County Constituency together with wards which are currently in Barnsley. Andy, Hallam gains Stannington but loses Broomhill and Crookes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 So does that mean Ecclesfield and Stocksbridge becomes part of Barnsley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Originally posted by Andy C So does that mean Ecclesfield and Stocksbridge becomes part of Barnsley? No, they will still be part of Sheffield City and elect councillors to Sheffield City Council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Eh? Stannington part of Hallam?! So does this mean we lose our S6 postcode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
