# The Barnsley and Sheffield (Boundary Change) Order 2024, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order gives effect to a recommendation by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England for the making of a change to the boundary between the borough of Barnsley and the city of Sheffield in the county of South Yorkshire.
Consequential changes are made by the Order to the corresponding parish boundary, parish ward boundary, and ward boundary to make them coterminous with the revised district boundary. The parish boundary and parish ward boundary have been altered using the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government’s power to make such changes at the same time as the recommendation of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England to change the district boundary is implemented.
The Order, with the exception of articles 8 and 9, is to commence on 1st April 2025. Articles 8 and 9 commence on the day after the day on which the Order is made. This is to allow the Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council and the Sheffield City Council to take the appropriate preparatory actions to prepare for the boundary change prior to the transfer date of 1st April 2025.
The map at the end of this note sets out the areas affected, and the changes made by this Order.

Specific provisions in the Order deal with town and county planning matters; continuity of matters; transfer of property, rights and liabilities; arrangements with regard to councillors; adaptation of the electoral register; and preparatory functions.
