EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes changes to electoral arrangements for the district of Cherwell following recommendations made by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. The area of the district remains unchanged. The electoral changes apply in respect of local government elections to be held on and after the ordinary day of election of councillors in 2016.
Article 3 abolishes the existing wards of the district of Cherwell and replaces them with 16 new ones. That article, the map (as defined in article 2) and the Schedule also establish the names, areas and number of councillors of the new district wards.
Article 4 makes provision for a whole district council election in 2016. (Thereafter, the council will revert to the existing system of election by thirds.) That article also provides for the order of retirement of councillors at elections to be held in 2018 and 2019.
Articles 5 and 6 abolish the existing wards of the parishes of (i) Banbury and (ii) Bicester and replace them with new ones. Those articles and the map also establish the names, areas and number of councillors of the new parish wards.
The map defined in article 2 shows the new district and parish wards. It is available at www.lgbce.org.uk/current-reviews/south-east/oxfordshire/cherwell-fer. The map is also available for inspection at all reasonable times at the offices of Cherwell District Council, Bodicote House, Bodicote, Banbury, Oxfordshire OX15 4AA and at the offices of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England at 14th Floor, Millbank Tower, Millbank, London SW1P 4QP.
