The independent Local Government Boundary Commission for England is proposing that Cornwall Council should have 87 councillors in future. The council currently has 123.

A public consultation on the proposal opened this week and will close at midnight on August 7.

The consultation is the first part of an electoral review of Cornwall Council. Later phases of the review will redraw electoral division boundaries for every county councillor.
