Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order gives effect, with modifications, to recommendations by the Local Government Commission for England for electoral changes in the county of Derbyshire. The recommendations were submitted to the Secretary of State, but the functions of the Secretary of State under sections 13 to 15 and 17 of the Local Government Act 1992 so far as they relate to electoral changes were transferred with modifications to the Electoral Commission under the Local Government Commission for England (Transfer of Functions) Order 2001 (S.I. 2001/3962), with effect from 1st April 2002. That Order provides that recommendations submitted to the Secretary of State before 1st April 2002 would have effect as if they had been submitted to the Electoral Commission.
The modifications concern the names of Belper, Bolsover North West, Elmton and Whitwell, Bolsover South West and Scarcliffe, Pinxton and South Normanton West, and South Normanton East and Tibshelf electoral divisions and the boundary between Dronfield South, and Holymoorside and Wingerworth electoral divisions.
The changes have effect in relation to local government elections to be held on and after the ordinary day of election of councillors in 2005.
Article 3 abolishes the existing electoral divisions of the county and provides for the creation of 64 new electoral divisions. That article and the Schedule also make provision for the names and areas of, and numbers of councillors for, the new electoral divisions. The number of councillors for each electoral division shall be one.
Article 4 obliges the Electoral Registration Officer in each district or borough in the county of Derbyshire to make any necessary amendments to the electoral register for that district or borough to reflect the new electoral arrangements.
Article 5 revokes the County of Derbyshire (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1980, with the exception of article 4.
