Consultation on proposed Twerton ward name change
What we are consulting on
We are consulting on a proposal to change the name of the Twerton electoral ward to Twerton & Whiteway.
What we are proposing to do
We are proposing to change the name of the Twerton ward from “Twerton” to “Twerton & Whiteway”. There will not be changes to the ward boundaries, nor to electoral arrangements, as a result of this proposal. No other ward name changes in the council area are being proposed as part of this consultation.
Why we are proposing to do it
This proposal is being put forward in response to views expressed during our review of polling districts and polling places, which concluded in November 2023.
Changing the name of electoral wards falls outside the scope of the review of polling districts and polling places and follows a separate legal process.
The law requires that we consult on potential changes to ward names before they are considered for a decision.

The outcomes of the consultation will be included in a report to the Full Council, which will make the final decision. This report will be made available on this web page.
