(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order gives effect, subject to one modification, to recommendations by the Local Government Commission for England for electoral changes in the borough of Fareham. The changes have effect in relation to local government elections to be held on and after 2nd May 2002.
The modification relates to boundaries of some of the wards. The Secretary of State has decided that the properties on the western side of Nelson Lane, north of the motorway, should be included in the borough ward of Portchester East rather than the borough ward of Portchester West.
Article 2 abolishes the existing wards of the borough and provides for the creation of fifteen new wards. That article and Schedule 1 also make provision for the names and areas of, and numbers of councillors for, the new wards.
Article 3 makes provision for a whole council election in 2002 and for reversion to elections by thirds in subsequent years. Schedule 2 regulates the order of retirement of councillors.
Article 4 revokes the Borough of Fareham (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1975.
The areas of the new borough wards are demarcated on the map described in article 1(3). Prints of the map may be inspected at all reasonable times at the offices of Fareham Borough Council and at the offices of the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, 2nd Floor, Ashdown House, 123 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6DE.
