(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes changes to electoral arrangements for the district of South Oxfordshire following recommendations made by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. The area of the district 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 2015.
Article 3 abolishes the existing wards of the district of South Oxfordshire and replaces them with 21 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 district wards.
Article 4 abolishes the existing wards of the parish of Didcot and replaces them with six new ones. That article and the map also establish the names, areas and number of councillors of the new parish wards.
Article 12 of the Oxfordshire (Electoral Changes) Order 2012 abolished the existing wards of the parish of Didcot and replaced them with five new ones. That article is revoked by article 5(b) of this Order, and, by virtue of article 5(a), will not come into force.
The map defined in article 2 shows the new district and parish wards. It is available at http://www.lgbce.org.uk/all-reviews/south-east/oxfordshire/south-oxfordshire-fer. The map is also available for inspection at all reasonable times at the offices of South Oxfordshire District Council at Benson Lane, Crowmarsh Gifford, Wallingford, Oxfordshire OX10 8ED and at the offices of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England at Layden House, 76 – 86 Turnmill Street, London EC1M 5LG.
