Part 2: Local Democracy and Devolution Constitution of CCAs Section 17: Change of name Effect
Subsections (2) and (3) set out conditions which must be followed in a CCA passing a resolution to change its name. The change of name has to be considered at a meeting of the CCA specially called for this purpose; the particulars of the name change must be in the notice for the meeting; and the resolution to change the name is passed by no less than two-thirds of the CCA members who vote on it. The CCA must notify the Secretary of State that it has changed its name and must publish notice of the change. The Secretary of State can direct the CCA as to the manner of publication.
