SHETLAND could have one extra councillor in the future if proposals for new electoral arrangements are approved.
Under final plans drawn up by Boundaries Scotland in a bid to rebalance the number of electors per councillor in the isles, Shetland could end up with 23 elected members instead of 22.
It proposes to decrease the number of councillors in the Shetland West ward from three to two, and add one to Shetland Central and another to Shetland South.

This would include Gulberwick moving from Lerwick South to the south ward party to “better reflect local ties”.
