Electoral Roll

At the time of writing this on 1st April 2026, the Electoral Roll has been reviewed in readiness for the annual meeting. At this stage the current new roll contains a total of 141 members. The number of members at the previous AGM was 128 representing an increase of 10% increase on the roll in the past year.

On the current role 92 live within the parish of Thelwall and 49 are outside of the parish.

In line with the previous report and its plan to normalize the reporting period the report is written based on the declared numbers as at the 1st April 2026. The next declaration will be 1st April 2027 unless otherwise mandated.

I will be able to state the current numbers for the coming year at the Annual Meeting as 141 electoral roll members.

Historical Reports and Future Predictions

For transparency I have included numbers for the past few years are below and this does show a trending increase in Electoral Roll.

It is anticipated, based on the historical statistics, that the number of members of the Electoral Roll will increase over time to come more in line with previous declarations before the full revision.

As was previously reported Thelwall has continued to see a large number of property sales and is classed as a desirable area within the Warrington area and therefore is seeing an increase in the number of new families moving to the parish.

This change in demographics across the parish has resulted in the introduction of new families, lowering the average age in the parish, and an increase in population density (resulting from an increase in the average number of occupants within a home) and it is hoped we will continue to realise an increase in congregation members as some of these families look to attend a local church on a regular basis.
