# The County of Norfolk (Electoral Changes) Order 2005, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order gives effect, with one modification, to recommendations by the Boundary Committee for England, a committee of the Electoral Commission, for electoral changes in the county of Norfolk.
The modification concerns the name of North Walsham West and Erpingham electoral division.
The changes have effect in relation to local government elections to be held on and after the ordinary day of election of councillors in 2005.
Article 3 abolishes the existing electoral divisions of the county and provides for the creation of 84 new electoral divisions. That article and the Schedule also make provision for the names and areas of, and numbers of councillors for, the new electoral divisions.
Article 4 makes electoral changes in the parish of Sprowston.
Article 6 obliges the Electoral Registration Officer for each district, borough or city in the county of Norfolk to make any necessary amendments to the electoral register to reflect the new electoral arrangements.
Article 7 revokes the County of Norfolk (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1984, with the exception of article 5.
The areas of the new electoral divisions and of the new parish wards of the parish of Sprowston are demarcated on the map described in article 2. Prints of the map may be inspected at all reasonable times at the offices of Norfolk County Council and at the principal office of the Electoral Commission at Trevelyan House, Great Peter Street, London SW1P 2HW.
