Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order transfers three areas between the counties of Greater London and Hertfordshire, affecting the boundary of the London borough of Harrow with the district of Hertsmere. All these areas are located in the neighbourhood of Magpie Hall Road, The Common High Road, and Heathbourne Road. Two of them (transferred from Hertsmere to Harrow) are very small, and the third (transferred from Harrow to Hertsmere) lies immediately to the west of Common Road and Magpie Hall Road. The new boundary created follows the western side of Common Road and Magpie Road from Hive Road to the vicinity of Heathbourne Road, transferring to Hertfordshire an area including part of High Road, Lime Tree Walk, the Windmill Public House and related housing development.

The Order also makes changes within Greater London in the boundary between Harrow and the neighbouring London boroughs of Ealing and Hillingdon. The areas transferred are all small, with the exception of a part of Castleton Road which is transferred to Hillingdon.

Consequential alterations to local government electoral areas, petty sessional divisions and coroners' districts are made. No parishes are affected.

This note is a general guide only to the areas affected, and the maps mentioned in article 2 should be inspected for full details of all transfers. Any person may inspect the maps at any reasonable time at the offices of the council for each borough or district affected, and additionally at the offices of the Secretary of State for the Environment located in 2 Marsham Street, London SW1P 3EB.
