  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order makes changes to electoral arrangements for the borough of Basildon following recommendations made by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. The area of the borough remains unchanged.\nArticle 3 abolishes the existing electoral wards of the borough of Basildon and replaces them with 14 new ones listed in Schedule 1 for the purpose of elections held on or after the ordinary day of election of councillors in England in 2024. It establishes the names and areas of the new electoral wards and the number of councillors for each.\nArticle 4 makes provision for a whole borough council election in 2024. Subsequently, the council will revert to the existing system of election by thirds. That article also provides for the order of retirement of councillors in 2026, 2027 and 2028 and the election of their replacements.\nArticle 5 makes changes to the parish wards of one parish that are consequential on the changes made by article 3, those changes coming into force in relation to elections occurring in 2026 and in respect of subsequent parish elections.\nThe area covered by each ward created by this Order is identified on a map which is available for inspection at reasonable times at the offices of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, 1st Floor, Windsor House, 50 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0TL.\nThe map may also be accessed at https://www.lgbce.org.uk/all-reviews/basildon.\nAn impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private, public or voluntary sectors is foreseen.",
