This Order makes changes to electoral arrangements for Cornwall following recommendations made by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. The area covered by the county is unchanged. The changes made by this Order apply in respect of local government elections held on and after the ordinary day of election of councillors in England in 2021.

Article 3 abolishes the existing electoral divisions of Cornwall and replaces them with 87 new ones; one councillor is to be elected for each division. It also establishes the names and areas of the new electoral divisions.

Article 4 makes changes to parish wards which are consequential to the changes made by article 3.

The area covered by each ward created by this Order is identified on a map which is available for inspection at reasonable times at the offices of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, 1st Floor, Windsor House, 50 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0TL.
