The Municipality of Lunenburg is planning a review of the size of its Council and the Polling District Boundaries. Deputy-Mayor Martin Bell says it's a proactive move to make sure the proper boundaries are being addressed. He says in the last review some of the districts ended up being rather large, but it was based on population. Bell says there is also a second consideration. He says under a Mayor instead of a Warden, the Mayor is out and involved in each and every district. He says a lot of the issues that come before Council are being worked together both by the local Councillor and the Mayor sharing the responsibility and looking for solutions. Bell says with that consideration they're looking at the fact that maybe they could reduce the number of councillors that are actually in the District of Lunenburg. Any proposed changes would have to be approved by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board, with the intent to take effect with the 2012 Municipal Election.
