That article and the Schedule also make provision for the names and areas of, and numbers of councillors for, the new electoral divisions.\nArticles 4 and 5 make electoral changes in the parishes of Droitwich Spa and Evesham.\nArticle 7 obliges the Electoral Registration Officer for each district, borough or city in the county of Worcestershire to make any necessary amendments to the electoral register to reflect the new electoral arrangements.\nArticle 8 revokes article 8 of the Hereford and Worcester (Structural, Boundary and Electoral Changes) Order 1996.\nThe areas of the new electoral divisions and of the new parish wards in the parishes of Droitwich Spa and Evesham are demarcated on the map described in article 2. Prints of the map may be inspected at all reasonable times at the offices of Worcestershire County Council and at the principal office of the Electoral Commission at Trevelyan House, Great Peter Street, London SW1P 2HW.",
