This Order makes provision consequential on the structural change effected by the Essex (Boroughs of Colchester, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock and District of Tendring) (Structural, Boundary and Electoral Changes) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/1875). That Order removed the Boroughs of Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock from the County of Essex.

Article 2 of this Order makes transitional provision relating to the proceedings of the Essex police authority. Article 3 amends the description of the Essex police area in Schedule 1 to the Police Act 1996 to take account of the structural change.
