Part 7 – Communities and Community councils

Section 109 – Power of council for a group of communities to apply for an order dissolving the group

122.Introduces a new section 27I in the 1972 Act to set out the conditions which must be met before a council for a group of communities may apply to the principal council for its area for an order dissolving the group. The provisions are essentially the same as those for dissolving a separate community council under the new section 27C, with each community in the group being required to consider and vote on the proposal separately.
