EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend The Local Government (General ) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003.

The application of employment deprivation scores with a 100 percent weighting to address deprivation by adjusting the population of a local government district as a proportion of community services expenditure in each district is changed to the application of employment deprivation scores with a 50 percent weighting and income deprivation scores with a 50 percent weighting.

The domestic net annual values measure applied with a 50 percent weighting to economic development expenditure to adjust the population of a local government district to address deprivation is removed. The application of employment deprivation scores is increased to a 100 percent weighting.

Both the employment and income deprivation scores are extracted from The Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measure produced by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency of the Department of Finance and Personnel and is available from The Stationary Office (TSO), 16 Arthur Street, Belfast, BT1 4GD.
