Shoeburyness is 21% larger (a fifth) than West Leigh.

The average ward size is 7852. If you allow a ten per cent variation, only Shoeburyness falls outside of this. Since West Shoebury is under the average perhaps a minor adjustment to the boundary between the two would see Shoeburyness brought back into line with the rest of the borough.

2688 EA Shoeburyness
