  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order makes changes to the electoral arrangements for the district of Wansbeck following recommendations made by the Boundary Committee for England to the Electoral Commission.\nThe Electoral Commission accepted the Boundary Committee’s recommendations without modification.\nThe electoral changes apply in respect of local government elections to be held on and after the ordinary day of election of councillors in 2007.\nArticle 3 abolishes the existing wards of the district and replaces them with 18 new ones. That article, the Schedule and the map also establish the names and areas of the new district wards and the numbers of district councillors for each ward.\nArticle 5 obliges the Electoral Registration Officer to make any necessary amendments to the electoral register to reflect the new electoral arrangements.\nThe map defined in article 2 shows the new district wards. It is available at www.boundarycommittee.org.uk/your-area/wansbeck.cfm and, at all reasonable times, at the offices of Wansbeck District Council and at the principal office of the Electoral Commission at Trevelyan House, Great Peter Street, London SW1P 2HW.",
