(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes changes to electoral arrangements for the London borough of Tower Hamlets following recommendations made by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. The area of the London borough remains unchanged.
The electoral changes apply in respect of local government elections to be held on and after the ordinary day of election of councillors in 2014.
Article 2 abolishes the existing wards of the London borough of Tower Hamlets and replaces them with 20 new ones. That article, the map (as defined in article 2) and the Schedule also establish the names, areas and number of councillors of the new wards.
