EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Order provides a new scheme for the holding of the ordinary elections of councillors of all wards within the borough of Rotherham. It replaces the previous scheme for the ordinary election of councillors by thirds. It also changes the year of election for parish councillors for all parishes within the borough.
Article 2 provides for whole council elections every four years starting in 2016. It deals with the retirement of existing councillors and the coming into office of newly elected councillors following the elections in 2016.
Article 3 provides for all parishes within the borough to have parish council elections in 2020 and every fourth year thereafter, so that they take place in the same year as borough council elections.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on business or the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
