# The Isle of Anglesey (Electoral Arrangements) Order 2012, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order is made under section 58(2) of the Local Government Act 1972. It gives effect to proposals of the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales (“the Commission”) which (following a direction from the Welsh Ministers under section 58(3) of that Act) reported in May 2012 on its review of electoral arrangements for the County of the Isle of Anglesey. The Commission’s report proposed a reduction in the size of the Isle of Anglesey County Council from 40 to 30 councillors and a change to the current pattern of electoral divisions being represented by a single member to one of multi-member electoral divisions.
This Order gives effect to the Commission’s recommendations without modifications.
