Recommendations of review

Section 92: County, district or London borough: consequential recommendations

213. The section requires a principal council to consider related alterations to the boundaries of electoral areas of county and/or district councils when conducting a community governance review. It provides for the principal council to make recommendations to the Electoral Commission for changes to the boundaries of any division of a county, or ward of a district or London borough in connection with a recommendation made as part of a community governance review.

214. Section 92 also gives the Electoral Commission the power to make an order giving effect to any recommendations it receives under subsection (2). The Electoral Commission must notify the council that made the recommendations and, in any two-tier area, the county council of whether or not it has given effect to the recommendations made. If it makes an order, the Electoral Commission must provide both the principal council and county council (if any) with two copies of the order.
