Drop-in sessions for more information about Town and Parish Council governance review

Telford & Wrekin Council is inviting residents, town and parish councils and other local stakeholders to attend a series of public information drop-in sessions as part of the second phase of its Community Governance Review.

These sessions are a key opportunity for the public to learn more about proposed changes to Town and Parish Council arrangements and to share their views.

Following extensive feedback from the first consultation phase, the Council has developed a set of draft proposals aimed at better reflecting community identities, addressing electoral imbalances, and ensuring effective local representation. The proposals include potential changes to ward boundaries and a slight reduction in the number of Town and Parish Councils.

To support community engagement, the Council is hosting several drop-in sessions across the borough:

• Tuesday 1 July, 10am-1pm at Madeley Library
• Tuesday 1 July, 2-4pm at Brookside Community Centre

The consultation is open until Monday 14 July 2025, and full details of the proposals, along with an online survey, are available at www.telford.gov.uk/cgr.

Comments and feedback can be given online, by email to reviews@telford.gov.uk or by post to: Community Governance Review, Electoral Services, Darby House, Telford & Wrekin Council, Lawn Central, Telford TF3 4JA

The outcome of any changes as a result of the Community Governance Review will then come into effect at the next local election, in May 2027.
