Cheshire East is set to have new boundaries for its council wards.
The Local Government Boundary Commission is the independent body that draws these boundaries. It has reviewed Cheshire East to make sure councillors will represent about the same number of electors.
The Commission has published final recommendations for changes in Cheshire East. It says residents should be represented by 82 councillors – the same as the existing arrangements.
There will be 47 wards consisting of 19 single-councillor wards, 21 two-councillor wards and seven three-councillor wards. The boundaries of most wards should change.
- Alderley Edge & Chorley Ward - combining the parishes of Alderley Edge and Chorley - represented by one councillor
- Handforth - represented by two councillors
- Wilmslow East & Dean Row - represented by two councillors
- Wilmslow Lacey Green represented by one councillor
- Wilmslow West - represented by two councillors
Publishing the recommendations Professor Colin Mellors, chair of the Commission, said: "We are very grateful to people in Cheshire East. We looked at all the views they gave us. They helped us improve our earlier proposals. We believe the new arrangements will deliver electoral fairness while maintaining local ties."

The changes become law once Parliament has approved them. Staff at the council will ensure that the arrangements are in place for the 2027 elections.
