Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order makes minor changes in the boundary between the borough of Stafford (parish of Fulford) and the district of Staffordshire Moorlands (parish of Forsbrook). The effect of the Order is to realign that boundary so that it follows the northern side of Uttoxeter Road in an area starting to the north-west of the White Cock public house and running south-eastwards to a point just beyond the Road’s junction with Grindley Lane in the vicinity of The Farm. Consequential changes are made to the boundaries of the parishes, local government electoral areas, and petty sessional divisions.

This Note and the map forming part of it give a general guide onlyto the changes effected, and for full details of the three small transfers made, the order map mentioned in article 2 should be inspected.

Any person may inspect the map at any reasonable time at the offices of the Stafford Borough Council and of the Staffordshire Moorlands District Council, and also at the offices of the Secretary of State for the Environment located in 2, Marsham Street, London SW1P 3EB.

In approximate terms, the area transferred from Stafford to Staffordshire Moorlands has an area of 0.7 hectares and a population of 35. The areas transferred from Staffordshire Moorlands to Stafford have a total area of 0.9 hectares, and are unpopulated.

The Local Government Area Changes Regulations 1976 contain general provisions regarding the effect of orders such as the present one.
