Explanatory note

This Order gives effect to recommendations made by Braintree District Council to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England for related alterations of district ward boundaries.

These alterations are a consequence of changes to certain parish boundaries introduced by the Braintree District Council (Reorganisation of Community Governance) Order 2018 (accessible at http://www.lgbce.org.uk/resources/database-of-local-government-orders/eastern/essex). That Order was made under section 86 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007. Printed copies of the Order together with its map are available for inspection at the offices of Braintree District Council, Causeway House, Bocking End, Braintree, Essex, CM7 9HB.

The changes to district ward boundaries under article 3 apply in respect of elections to be held on and after the ordinary day of election of councillors in England in 2019.

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