Explanatory note

Part V of Schedule 1 to the Local Government Act 1972 makes provision for the constitution of parishes for areas of existing boroughs and urban districts in England. A number of parishes were constituted by the Local Government (Successor Parishes) Order 1973 (S.I. 1973/1110). This Order gives effect to further proposals made by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. It also specifies a date for certain electoral provisions of the 1972 Act (see Article 4).
