  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order gives effect, subject to one modification, to recommendations by the Local Government Commission for England for electoral changes in the city of York. The changes have effect in relation to local government elections to be held on and after 1st May 2003.\nThe modification relates to the name of one of the proposed new wards. The Secretary of State has decided that the ward for which the Commission suggested the name “Tang Hall” should be called “Hull Road”.\nArticle 2 abolishes the existing wards of the city and provides for the creation of 22 new wards. That article and the Schedule also make provision for the names and areas of, and numbers of councillors for, the new wards.\nArticle 3 provides for the election of all councillors of the city of York to take place in 2003 and every 4 years after that year.\nArticle 4 makes electoral changes in the parish of Haxby.\nArticle 5 revokes the City of York (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1976 and article 6 of the North Yorkshire (District of York) (Structural and Boundary Changes) Order 1995.\nThe areas of the new city and parish wards are demarcated on the map described in article 1(3). Prints of the map may be inspected at all reasonable times at the offices of York City Council and at the offices of the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions, 2nd Floor, Ashdown House, 123 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6DE.",
