# The District of North Devon (Electoral Changes) Order 1999, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order gives effect, subject to the modification detailed below, to recommendations by the Local Government Commission for England for electoral changes in the district of North Devon. The changes have effect in relation to local government elections to be held on and after 1st May 2003.
The modification relates to the parish of Fremington. The Local Government Commission recommended that the parish be divided into three wards, but the Secretary of State has decided to accept the proposal made by Fremington Parish Council that the parish be divided into four wards.
Article 2 abolishes the existing wards of the district and provides for the creation of 27 new wards. That article and Schedule 1 make provision for the names and areas of, and numbers of councillors for, the new wards.
Articles 3 to 7 make electoral changes in the parishes of Barnstaple, Fremington, Ilfracombe, Landkey and Tawstock.
Article 8 revokes the District of North Devon (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1980.
The areas of the new district 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 the North Devon District Council and at the offices of the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, 2nd Floor, Ashdown House, 123 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6DE.
