Explanatory note

Reproduced verbatim from the instrument as published on legislation.gov.uk (Crown Copyright, Open Government Licence v3.0). The note is prepared by the responsible government department and is not part of the instrument itself.

The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland conducted a review of a local government boundary, which was undertaken in compliance with the Ministerial Direction made under section 15(3) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (“the 1973 Act ”), and the Scottish Ministers received its report on 22nd October 2009. The report made proposals for the transfer of a certain area between Angus Council and Dundee City Council, and also made proposals for changes in electoral arrangements consequential to that change in local government areas. This Order gives effect to the proposals in that report, as submitted to the Scottish Ministers.

This Order transfers the area of land described in the Schedule from Angus Council to Dundee City Council on 1st April 2010 (article 4) and makes consequential changes to electoral arrangements (article 5).

The boundary map delineating the boundaries amended by this Order is stored on DVD-ROM and certified copies are issued by the Local Government Boundary Commission in accordance with regulation 3 of the Local Government Area Changes (Scotland) Regulations 1977. The copies are sealed and signed by the Commission in accordance with paragraph 10 of Schedule 4 of the 1973 Act. Copies of the DVD-ROM are available for inspection by the public from the local authorities concerned.
