Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order makes changes, most of which are minor realignments, to the boundary between the London boroughs of Bromley and Greenwich. The map and table forming part of this note (Pages 3 and 4) give a general guide to the areas affected and the changes made. In approximate terms, the land transferred from Bromley to Greenwich has an area of 5 hectares and is unpopulated, and that transferred from Greenwich to Bromley an area of 10 hectares and a population of 200.

For full details of the transfers made, the order maps (described in article 2) should be inspected. Any person may inspect them at any reasonable time at the offices of the council for each London borough affected, and also at the offices of the Secretary of State for the Environment located in 2, Marsham Street, London SW1P 3EB.

Consequential changes are made to petty sessional divisions and coroners' districts. The Local Government Area Changes Regulations 1976 (S.I. 1976/246, amended by S.I. 1978/247) contain general provisions regarding the effect of orders such as this one.
