Three wards with 10 councillors

Under this option, the existing Springs and Ellesmere wards would combine into a single new ward, Springs-Ellesmere. Selwyn Central and Malvern wards would remain. The major changes include:

• Burnham moving from the current Ellesmere ward to the Malvern ward
• The area around Bankside moving from Ellesmere ward to the Malvern ward
• An area east of Rolleston moving from the current Selwyn Central ward to the Springs-Ellesmere ward.

The total number of councillors would reduce from 11 to 10.
