This Order gives effect to recommendations made by Dartford Borough Council to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England for a related alteration to the boundary between two borough wards in the Council’s area.

The alteration is a consequence of changes to parish boundaries and warding arrangements under the Borough of Dartford (Reorganisation of Community Governance) Order 2022, which was made by the Council under powers including section 86 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (c. 28). A hard copy of that Order is available for inspection at reasonable times at the offices of Dartford Borough Council, Civic Centre, Home Gardens, Dartford DA1 1DR.

The changes described in article 2 apply in respect of elections to be held on and after the ordinary day of election of councillors in England in 2023.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
