At least eight Harrow councillors would be at risk of losing their seats if proposed boundary changes are approved by parliament.

The suggestions – put forward by England’s Boundary Commission – would see the number of councillors drop from 63 to 55, while the number of wards in the borough would go up by one to 22.

Members of the public are being urged to have their say on the possible amendments, which could impact on the overall make-up of their council.

A consultation is open until February 11, so the commission can assess the best way of arranging and implementing any changes.

Its chairman, professor Colin Mellors, said: “Our reviews will make local elections fairer for voters and we will try and build council wards that mean something to local communities.

“Everyone will get a chance to have their say on new council wards in their area. After all, local people know their area best.”

The proposals are part of a London-wide scheme, which will see changes to internal borders in 25 boroughs over three years.

In Harrow’s case, the final recommendations will be published on March 26. If approved by Parliament, they will come into effect for the 2022 elections.

As part of the proposed changes, the current Queensbury ward area would be renamed Centenary, while Headstone North and South would have representatives from a joint Headstone ward and the newly-created North Harrow.

Wealdstone ward would be split into east and west, and Stanmore Park would become larger – renamed as Stanmore – taking part of the Canons ward area.

Belmont, Canons, Harrow-on-the-Hill, Harrow Weald, Hatch End, Kenton West, Rayners Lane, Roxbourne and West Harrow would all be represented by two councillors as opposed to three.

The aim is to promote “electoral equality”, with each councillor representing roughly the same number of voters – in closely-fought areas, this could have far-reaching consequences.
