This Order makes provision about coroners in consequence of the provisions of the Shropshire (District of The Wrekin) (Structural Change) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/1866) which creates a new county of The Wrekin on 1st April 1998.
To the extent that the district of The Wrekin ceases to be part of the county of Shropshire, orders under section 4(2) of the Coroners Act 1988 in respect of the latter cease to apply to the area of that district. By virtue of the fact that the area becomes a county and the council of the district assumes the functions of a county council, coroners fall to be appointed for that area by the council of the district. Article 3 of this Order deems the coroner for the existing East Shropshire Coroner’s District to have been appointed for The Wrekin.
Article 2 of this Order abolishes the existing East Shropshire Coroner’s District and adds those parts of that district which are in the districts of North Shropshire and Shrewsbury and Atcham to the Mid and North-West Shropshire Coroner’s District and those parts which are in the district of Bridgnorth to the South Shropshire Coroner’s District.
Article 4 makes transitional arrangements to ensure continuity as respects the coroner for the new county.
