The recommendations were submitted to the Secretary of State, but the functions of the Secretary of State under sections 13 to 15 and 17 of the Local Government Act 1992 so far as they relate to electoral changes were transferred with modifications to the Electoral Commission under the Local Government Commission for England (Transfer of Functions) Order 2001 (S.I. 2001/3962), with effect from 1st April 2002. That Order provides that recommendations submitted to the Secretary of State before 1st April 2002 would have effect as if they had been submitted to the Electoral Commission. The modifications concern the names of East Molesey and Esher, Lower Sunbury and Halliford, The Byfleets, and West Molesey electoral divisions and the boundary between Guildford South West and Guildford West electoral divisions. 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 80 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. The number of councillors for each electoral division shall be one. Articles 4 and 5 make electoral changes in the parishes of Godalming and Windlesham. Article 7 obliges the Electoral Registration Officer in each district or borough in the county of Surrey to make any necessary amendments to the electoral register for that district or borough to reflect the new electoral arrangements. Article 8 revokes the County of Surrey (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1980, with the exception of article 5. The areas of the new electoral divisions and of the new parish wards of the parishes of Godalming and Windlesham are demarcated on the map described in article 2. Prints of the map may be inspected at all reasonable times at the offices of Surrey County Council and at the principal office of the Electoral Commission at Trevelyan House, Great Peter Street, London SW1P 2HW. --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2004/2819 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/county-of-surrey-electoral-changes-order-2004 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
