The Hertfordshire (Electoral Changes) (Amendment) Order 2017

Under section 58(4) of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 20091 (“the Act”), the Local Government Boundary Commission for England2 (“the Commission”) published a report dated May 2015 stating its recommendations for changes to the electoral arrangements for the county of Hertfordshire. The Commission decided to give effect to those recommendations by making the Hertfordshire (Electoral Changes) Order 20153 under section 59(1) of the Act.

The Commission is satisfied that a mistake has occurred in the preparation of that Order and that the mistake is such that it cannot be rectified by a subsequent order under section 59 of the Act by virtue of section 14 of the Interpretation Act 19784.

The Commission makes the following Order in exercise of the power conferred by section 59(6) of the Act.
