The East Dunbartonshire Council Area and Glasgow City Council Area (Princes Gate and Greenacres by Robroyston) Boundaries Alteration Order 2010

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland conducted a review of a local government boundary, which was undertaken in compliance with the Ministerial Direction made under section 15(3) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (“the 1973 Act”), and the Scottish Ministers received its report on 18th March 2010. The report made proposals for the transfer of certain areas between East Dunbartonshire Council and Glasgow City Council, and also made proposals for changes in electoral arrangements consequential to that change in local government areas. This Order gives effect to that report, as submitted to the Scottish Ministers.

This Order transfers two areas described as Area E1 and Area E2 in the Schedule from Glasgow City Council to East Dunbartonshire Council (article 4(1)) on 1st April 2011. It also transfers three areas described as Area G1, Area G2 and Area G3 from East Dunbartonshire Council to Glasgow City Council (article 4(2)) on the same date and makes consequential changes to electoral arrangements (article 5).

The boundary map delineating the boundaries amended by this Order is stored on DVD-ROM and certified copies are issued by the Local Government Boundary Commission in accordance with regulation 3 of the Local Government Area Changes (Scotland) Regulations 1977. The copies are sealed and signed by the Commission in accordance with paragraph 10 of Schedule 4 to the 1973 Act. Copies of the DVD-ROM are available for inspection by the public from the local authorities concerned.

The following map gives a general guide to the areas affected by this Order.
