Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order changes the years of ordinary elections of councillors to the Isle of Anglesey County Council and councillors to the community councils in the Isle of Anglesey county.

This Order provides that the ordinary elections of councillors to the Isle of Anglesey County Council will take place in 2013 instead of 2012. It also provides that the ordinary elections of councillors to the community councils in the Isle of Anglesey county will take place in 2013 instead of 2012.

The current term of office of existing councillors elected to the Isle of Anglesey County Council is accordingly extended by one year. The current term of office of existing community councillors elected to community councils in the Isle of Anglesey county is also accordingly extended by one year.

The scheme for elections of councillors to the Isle of Anglesey County Council is unchanged, in that subsequent ordinary elections will take place every four years after 2013. The scheme for elections of community councillors to the community councils in the Isle of Anglesey county is also unchanged, in that subsequent ordinary elections will take place every four years after 2013.

This Order overrides the general provisions in relation to the timing of ordinary elections and the term of office of councillors in Wales set out in section 26 (principal councils) of the Local Government Act 1972. This Order also overrides the general provisions in relation to the timing of ordinary elections and the term of office of community councillors in Wales set out in section 35 (community councils) of the Local Government Act 1972.

A regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this Order. A copy can be obtained from the Democracy, Ethics and Partnership Division, Department for Local Government and Public Services, Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3NQ.
