Minutes:
Hilary Oliver, Winchester City Council, informed the forum that a community governance review had been conducted to decide on the area's governance structure. The recommendations from the review were discussed at the council's Licensing and Regulation committee meeting on 7 December 2022, where they were accepted, and a further consultation for comments was agreed. The Full Council meeting on 18 January 2023 reviewed and accepted the recommendations, resulting in an adjustment to the boundary so that all of the North Whiteley development fell under Whiteley Town Council. The changes are to take effect on April 1, 2023, with elections for Whiteley Town Council taking place with the adjusted boundary in May 2023. The forum discussed the representation on Curdridge Parish Council and Whiteley Town Council and thanked those involved in the governance review for their efforts.
