All council wards in Bolton are set to change their boundaries ahead of the next elections in May. The Boundary Commission has this week published its final recommendations after a consultation.

In 2020, the electorate of Bolton was 203,512 and in 2027 it predicted to be 213,697, an increase of nine per cent. The commission received five submissions about the number of councillors, all argued for a reduction in the number of councillors.
