  Kent County Council is encouraging people across the county to comment on proposals for new county council division boundaries.
  An eight-week public consultation has been launched by the independent Local Government Boundary Commission today and will end on 6 July.
  The consultation is the first part of an electoral review which will re-draw boundaries across the UK and could see three fewer KCC councillors.http://kccmediahub.net/have-your-say-on-new-county-division-boundaries745

  3 less councillors would be a start, but I wouldn't mind betting they will employ 1 or 2 senior managers to oversee the changes!!!

  I don't see the point of this as firstly cutting back on 3 councillors will hardly save a fortune and secondly the whole county is blue so moving boundaries won't make much difference.

  No Howard, the blues have a narrow majority with 45 seats out of 84. UKIP have 17, Labour 13 and LibDems 7, Greens 1 and 1 independent.

  Point taken Peter I was thinking along constituency lines, certainly disagree about the narrow majority though. From day 1 all UKIP candidates have backed everything the Blues have proposed, not surprising as many of them were colleagues before.
