(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes changes to electoral arrangements for the county of Nottinghamshire following recommendations made by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. The area of the county 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 2017.
Article 3 abolishes the existing divisions of the county of Nottinghamshire and replaces them with 56 new ones. That article and the map (as defined in article 2) also establish the names, areas and number of councillors of the new divisions.
Articles 4 to 5 abolish the existing wards of the parishes of (i) Balderton and (ii) Newark respectively 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 county divisions and parish wards. It is available at http://www.lgbce.org.uk/current-reviews/east-midlands/nottinghamshire/nottinghamshire-county-council .
