EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends article 3 on page 1 and footnote (b) on page 2 of the St Edmundsbury (Electoral Changes) Order 2017 to give full effect to the proposals made by St Edmundsbury Borough Council to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England for related alternations to county electoral division boundaries. The alterations are related to parish boundary changes made by the St Edmundsbury (Reorganisation of Community Governance) Order 2016.

It should also be noted that, in the explanatory note to the St Edmundsbury (Electoral Changes) Order 2017, reference was made to “electoral divisions in the county of Cambridgeshire”. This should have read “electoral divisions in the County of Suffolk”.
