I have lived in Dormanstown for over 23 years. I moved here when my husband decided to come back home. My husband was born and lived all his chilhood in Dormanstown. Dormanstown was built for the workers of the steel industry. Also building some of the countries first retirement homes. It makes no sense to me as a resident why the steel work site is been removed from dormanstown. Whilst removing the industry from what is already a deprived and poor ward why would you want to do this as it will only make the ward poorer and less funds available when the industry goes so does any section 106 money which can only help and support the ward. id like to see the ward back with its heritage in tact and 3 ward councillors as i believe our ward is best represented with 3 rather than 2 which will make things harder for me as they will have a bigger work load and less support. Also as a member of friends of westfield farm we have used funding from the councillors on a number of occasions in order for us to put on events for the community. Our biggest been last year when we opened up the 100yrs celebrations and are continuing with this. this year. i am sure if i had the time to write a petition there would be a high percentage of the residents sign it. Yours Mrs L Buckton

On the proposed South Bank ward - which appears to be based on the South Tees Development Corporation area excluding South Gare - I can understand the accountability of encompassing this area in a single ward but this reduces the scrutiny of future plans. Also, the former SSI site and especially Coatham Marsh are more contiguous with Dormanstown or Coatham than South Bank. I propose two alternative boundaries, either Dabholm Cut centreline between the former Redcar steelworks and Teesport (Annotation 1 - Transfer area north-east of this line to Dormanstown) or the western edge of Coatham Marsh (Annotation 2 - Transfer area east of line to Coatham or Dormanstown. NB approximate line, use Natural England boundary data for Coatham Marsh). I agree with your proposal for South Gare to be transferred to Coatham ward due to access but suggest the boundary-line should be the property boundary of the steelworks rather than the centreline of South Gare Road for the same reason (Annotation 3 - Use steelworks property boundary). On Kirkleatham ward, I agree it makes much more sense to include Kirkleatham village and Yearby in Kirkleatham as proposed than Dormanstown as currently. Perhaps Kirkleatham Business Park could be included in Kirkleatham too, but I don't have a strong preference for this (Annotation 4). I suggest the whole of Redcar Racecourse should be in one ward as currently rather than two as proposed. West Dyke would be the obvious choice due to access (Annotation 5). I suggest Mackinlay Park should be in Zetland ward rather than Longbeck due access and local ties. The boundary could be either Green Lane (Annotation 6) or the Parish boundary (Annotation 7). On Mickledales ward, I agree that the housing south of Redcar Road be transferred from Longbeck, and Wheatlands Park from Kirkleatham as proposed. On names of wards in Redcar - 'Dormanstown', 'Newcomen', 'Kirkleatham' and 'Zetland' are OK. 'Coatham' is somewhat misleading as the ward includes both Coatham High Street ('High Street West') and Redcar High Street ('High Street East') as well as Warrenby but I realise it is the current name and I can't think of a better name to reflect the whole area. 'Mickledales' is fine for the parish ward but doesn't reflect the whole district ward, which is a combination of Mickledales, the Ings estate (aka the new Ings), Wheatlands Park, Wheatlands Chase, Scholar's View and the racecourse estate. I suggest 'Wheatlands' as this is the name

of the local school. The existing name of 'West Dyke' doesn't reflect the current area geographically so retaining it for a smaller ward doesn't make sense either. The now-demolished West Dyke School wasn't in the current ward, only part West Dyke Road shares its western edge and few people remember the now-culverted watercourse of which only a part was in the ward from which it takes its name. As other local ward names are used in school names, I propose 'Ings Farm'. The name comes from the original farm on the site and is currently used by a local bus company to refer to the housing around Borough Road/Warwick Road and Castle Road (aka the old Ings estate). The other areas of housing in the ward don't have names that I'm aware of. An alternative could be 'Racecourse' but you would need to transfer the racecourse estate from the proposed Mickledales ward for this to make complete sense.

From: John Curr >Sent: 16 April 2018 20:03To: reviewsSubject: Boundary ChangesAttachments: Local Government Boundary Changes_01.pdf

Dear Sir / Madam My name is John Curr Yesterday afternoon (Sunday 15th April 2018) I received the attached notice. It is basically a quarter of an A4 sheet of paper and it was posted through my letterbox together with an advert for one of our local Indian takeaway food outlets called Goa Lounge. The fact that I received that yesterday did not give me any time to formulate a suitable response. I do not know who was responsible for this late delivery but it needs to be addressed and my views taken into consideration. At least one of my neighbours did not receive the information slip and there was no indication as to whether or not it was actually meant for my property or who had sent it other than the address in the slip itself. It was not even in an envelope and it certainly was not addressed to anybody. If this is the standard of information that we can expect to receive from our government or local government then it is poor at best. We are the electorate and we have a right to be consulted IN GOOD TIME. This email will be forwarded to my local councillor, the chief executive of the council and my local MP. I need to know the rationale behind the proposed change as to me, it makes no sense whatsoever. Coatham ward is a coastal / town centre ward in the Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and has very little in common with the West Dyke Ward. If any changes were to be considered then the only ward for my property and others in my area would be Zetland ward as this is also mainly a coastal ward. Coatham is the ONLY ward that covers the town centre and as my property is well within the town centre boundaries it should be treat accordingly with a dedicated ward i.e. do not change anything. These are my initial thoughts but I am still very angry about the cavalier way in which I, along with the rest of the electorate in the ward, have been dealt with regarding boundary changes. It is probably too late to do anything about your decision now but I would appreciate a response that addresses ALL of the points I have raised. Yours Faithfully John M Curr

Hi there, I just like to say well done. You have notified a change in wards on sunday 15th April and told us we have write to you by 16th April.Why were not informed sooner??? Only possible via e‐mail now. You must be part of Mays goverment. ******* backwards. I do not understand why you have to change boundries within redcar and cleveland. From what ive tried to read, thats total babble, its to do with councillor/public ratio. Have I got this correct? I like my councillors in the Coatham Ward and they get the job done and do it well. I am not impressed with my ward and councillors been changed when, as far as I can see in thier westdyke ward, have done absolutely zip. The west dyke area is one of the worse in the area from what Ive been told and know. I do not want lib dem councillors that do sweet fa. Why do you people always have to change things???? and why do we only hear about it when, most of the time, its too late? Could I have some sort of laymans terms reason for all this shuffling about? Are you getting rid of some councillors? Hope to hear from you sooner rather than later Mrs A.Dickinson Fed up member of the public

there should be a much clearer boundary between the proposed wards of Skelton east and Skeltonwest. It would make much more sense to have the boundary as Saltburn Lane rather than theproposed confusing boundary which actually devides and cuts through a housing estate. At the veryleast the whole housing estate should be in one ward or the other

I have studied the draft proposals for the South Bank Ward, of which I am a resident. I would also ask you to note that I am a serving councillor on this authority for the adjoining Teesville Ward. It is of great concern to me that you are proposing a reduction of councillors in the South Bank ward from three to two. I know from personal experience that the amount of casework and related actions in this most deprived ward of the borough are a constant chalenge to the workload of the current three sitting councillors. To reduce the councillor capacity in this ward by a third is simply a step too far! Similarly the councillor workload in the Dormanstown ward, yet another deprived ward, is extremely high. To create two additional wards and reallocate councillors lacks logical thought. I urge the commission to retain the current councillor compliment in the wards of South Bank and Dormanstown. R W Norton JP LLB(Hons) Resident of South Bank Ward Cllr for Teesville Ward.

To whom it may concern We have 3 very good councillors in the south bank ward .We hit every target the fires the deprivation in our community & now your trying to take away one of our councillors what help the community endlessly. I'm a single parent with 7 children no big title but a person who lives & volunteers in the community .I work alongside these councillors who try & resolve issues in the community.The people who decide our futures are people who visit the area & don't know what is really happening in the community & don't know anything about the people that live here. Before people decide the best things for these communities they should come & live & work there for at least 6-12 months before deciding to take a valued councillor out of the ward . Changing the ward boundaries will have massive negative effects on the community as a whole so I would be grateful as a person who lives in the community you re-think what devastating effects your going to put on this community as a whole Regards Christine Stubbs Sent from my iPhone

I believe South Bank Ward should stay at 3 councillors. South Bank is one of the most deprived wards in the Country. I lived there for many years and seen the amount of work the councillors did to try and support the community.

I am part of south bank ward and it should keep three councillors due to the amount of deprivation in the ward. There is constant work to be done to raise aspirations and this would be hard for just two councillors to achieve. The way extra money is brought into the area will also be affected due to being split and losing a councillors. There is a well established community and groups which have been run for years will be affected by effectively cutting the ward in two.

I see no reason to split Skelton into 2 wards or increase the number of councillors to 4. As of nowSkelton is a village and even with recent,current and planned building in progress with continualincreases in council tax we should be looking to reduce the numbers to TWO councillors. Very fewof the electorate make direct approaches to councillors and I know the workload here in Skelton isminimal. Until recent years there were 3 councillors, in one case a married couple all 3 in the samepolitical party which was self defeating. I have occasionally seen councillors surgeries with nomember of the public in attendance ! My opinion Leave boundaries alone and reduce no ofcouncillors to TWO

Coatham ward seriously lacks green space, therefore, I believe Locke Park should be part of Coatham ward in the future. It currently resides in Dormanstown ward which has an abundance of green space. Newcomen ward is small and could easily be absorbed into Coatham & Dormanstown wards. Yearby - this hamlet for some peculiar reason - currently resides in Dormanstown ward. It is closer to Kirkleatham ward and in my view the residents of Yearby would benefit by being in Kirkleatham ward as has been the case in the past.

From: David Walsh Sent: 16 April 2018 13:58To: reviewsSubject: Boundary Commission REview of Redcar and Cleveland

To Local Boundary Commission Review of Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council Can I welcome in general terms, the review findings As a Skelton resident, I welcome the fact that Skelton has effectively been divided int two contagious wards thus enabling a continuity of actions within the community and strengthening councillor numbers in an area of deprivation, and thus casework The same arguments apply elsewher Dormanstown and South Bank wards should not be reduced in Councillor numbers becaus South Bank is one of the most deprived wards in the whole country and the second most deprived in RCBC Dormanstown is within the top 20% deprived wards in the country and some areas in Dormanstown are within the top 10% most deprived areas in the whole council which creates far more demand on services (and councillors) in these two areas Like the original mining village of Skelton, Dormanstown and South Bank have strong historical identities and their boundaries should not be reduced for these reasons.
