Coming into force
The Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities makes this Order in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 7, 11, 12, 13 and 15(2) of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 20071 (“the 2007 Act”).
This Order implements a proposal, submitted to the Secretary of State in response to an invitation under section 2 of the 2007 Act, that there should be a single tier of local government for Cumbria.
In accordance with section 7(3) of that Act, the Secretary of State has consulted every authority affected by the proposal, except the authority which made it, and such other persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate.
The proposal was made by Allerdale Borough Council and Copeland Borough Council.
A draft of this Order was laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament in accordance with section 240(6) of the 2007 Act.
