Minutes:

4.1     Martin Pyroyiannos, Elections Manager, introduced the report.  He set out the context of the review and the main changes Members spoke in favour of the proposals, but did suggest that the name, Maida Vale and St John’s Wood better reflected the area than that proposed of Queen’s Park and Regent’s Park.  The Committee supported the Officer recommendations with the addition of the name change being added to the Council’s representation.

 

          Resolved:

 

(i)              That the challenging and complex set of criteria being applied to this review be noted;

 

(ii)             That a representation be made to the Commission by the City Council;

 

(iii)            That the representation made to the Commission by the City Council strongly supports the initial proposals with the view that the name Maida Vale and St John’s Wood better reflects the area than the proposed name of Queen’s Park and Regent’s Park.
