Explanatory note

This Order makes changes to the arrangements for the elections for parish councillors for the Ribble Banks Parish Council that are consequential upon electoral changes made in relation to the District of Craven by the District of Craven (Electoral Changes) Order 2000. These changes are designed to bring the dates of elections of parish councillors into line with the dates of election for councillors for the district ward of Settle and Ribble Banks, into which now fall the parishes represented by councillors elected to the Ribble Banks Parish Council. Those parishes are the parishes of Halton Rest, Rathmell and Wigglesworth.
