Radical boundary changes are set to take place within Telford and Wrekin ahead of the town and parish council elections in 2027.
There have been few alterations to the rural parishes since 1974, while the urban ones have changed very little since 1988.
The final round of consultation will then take place from July 19 to August 16 with the final recommendations being published on September 6. "We find ourselves in a position where this council is now providing services for an additional 500-plus new dwellings that reside in the borough boundary, but not in the parish," said Councillor Thomas Janke, who represents South Ward and Newport South Borough.
