The new ward boundaries mean no one is certain where the pieces will fall. New battle lines will be drawn tomorrow as the town’s politicians prepare to fight the first elections with new ward boundaries. As part of cost-cutting measures, the number of councillors on Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council will be cut from 60 to 54. With that, comes changes in the boundaries of each ward, changing the battlegrounds for the first time since 2008. Therefore, it is hard to anticipate how exactly the results will go. But as ever in elections, certain parties will be more popular in certain areas, and by looking at historic results in the predecessor wards, we can predict which wards may be closest fought.
