Electoral boundaries
[edit]Initial creation
[edit]When the Local Government Act 1972 was passed there was not sufficient time to draw up proper electoral boundaries for the new county and district councils, so a temporary system was quickly put in place, intended to only be used for the first elections in 1973. [citation needed]
