# The Kent (Coroners' Districts) Order 2001, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
The County of Kent was divided into six coroners' districts by the Kent (Coroners' Districts) Order 1974. One of these, North Kent was amalgamated with its neighbours so forming five different districts by the Kent (Coroners' Districts) (Amendment) Order 1996.
This Order creates two new coroners' districts out of the existing coroners' districts of Ashford and Shepway, East Kent and Thanet. The areas of those districts, named Central and South East Kent and North East Kent are set out in the Schedule to this Order. That Schedule also sets out the remaining coroners' district (North West Kent) which is wholly inside the County of Kent.
