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.
