The Local Government Boundary Commission's recommendations for the new boundaries for City of York Council have today gone live.
You can see full details of the proposed city wide changes here:

One notable point is the number of councillors was 'set' at the last stage of consultation at 47 (as currently) but now the LGBC has decided 48 would be a better number.
Most of the city sees no or little change but there are some quite interesting proposals.
Proposed new ward and number of members
Haxby & Wigginton 3
Huntington & New Earswick 3
Rawcliffe & Clifton Without 3
Strensall 2
Heworth 3
Heworth Without 1
Osbaldwick 1
Tanghall & Derwenthorpe 2
Derwent 2
Fulford & Fishergate 3
Heslington & University 2
Bishopthorpe 1
Copmanthorpe 1
Rural West York 2
Acomb West 3
Dringhouses 1
Holgate & Acomb East 3
Westfield, Woodthorpe & Westhorpe 3
Clifton 2
Guildhall 3
Leeman Road 1
Micklegate 3
These allocations would mean that, by 2031, all of the wards are within the expected 10% deviation from the anticipated average electorate of 3,542 electors per Member.
The proposals are now out to consultation from 28th April to 6th July, after which the LGBCE will analyse any further comments they receive, before publishing their final recommendations on 29th September.
