North Tyneside Labour claim new council ward proposals will "rip communities apart" - but Tory councillors claim they will help councillors properly represent their communities.
The Local Government Boundary Commission has published its draft proposals for the new wards in North Tyneside. The new proposed map sees many wards merged, renamed, and or otherwise altered.
The new council wards aim to be more representative with each councillor representing approximately 2,756 residents.
