EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order gives effect to recommendations made by Cornwall Council to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England for related alterations of division boundaries.

The alterations are a consequence of changes to parish boundaries and warding arrangements under the Cornwall (Reorganisation of Community Governance) No. 1 Order 2020, as amended by the Cornwall (Reorganisation of Community Governance) Amendment Order 2021, which were made by Cornwall Council under powers including section 86 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (c. 28). A hard copy of those Orders is available for inspection at reasonable times at the offices of Cornwall Council, New County Hall, Treyew Road, Truro, TR1 3AY

The changes to the divisions described in article 2 apply in respect of elections to be held on and after the ordinary day of election of councillors in England in 2021.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
