Article 2 Wards of the district of Middlesbrough and number of councillors

The existing wards of the district of Middlesbrough are abolished.

The district of Middlesbrough is divided into 20 district wards, each listed by name in the first column of the Schedule.

Each district ward comprises the area designated on the map by reference to the name of the district ward.

The number of councillors to be elected for each district ward is the number specified in relation to that ward in the second column of the Schedule.

Where a boundary is shown on the map as running along a road, railway line, footway, watercourse or similar geographical feature, it is to be treated as running along the centre line of the feature.

In this article, “map” means the map marked “Map referred to in the Middlesbrough (Electoral Changes) Order 2014”, prints of which are available for inspection at the principal office of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England.
