Governance

Ringway Parish Council had nominally consisted of eight Councillors, but none had been elected and the parish council was not performing its statutory obligations. In a 2009 review of local governance arrangements in Manchester 35 (40%) of the 88 electors in the parish (100% of respondents) indicated the desire to retain the parish council. From 2010 the number of parish Councillors has been reduced to five, and the elections scheduled for 2011 were brought forward. Of the five Councillors nominally in the role since 2011, only four have lived in the parish. A further review of local arrangements is planned by Manchester City Council.[11] The area is within the Manchester City Council Ward of Woodhouse Park (Wythenshawe); so does have effective representation from the three Ward (City) Councillors.
