Part 2: Local Democracy and Devolution Functions of CCAs Section 25: Changes to boundaries of a CCA’s area Effect
Subsections (1) and (2) provide that regulations may either add or take away from a CCA’s area the whole of the area administered by a two-tier county council, a unitary county council or a unitary district council. This would enable a CCA’s area to expand or to contract in size, and the CCA to add or remove a constituent member.
	Subsection (3) provides that regulations to remove a local government area may transfer functions for that area to another public authority or for CCA functions no longer to be exercisable in that area. Subsection (4) defines "public authority", for the purposes of subsection (3) as including Ministers of the Crown, a government department, a county council, and a district council.
	Subsection (5) provides that regulations may be made if the new area meets the conditions in section 9.
	Subsection (6) provides that, where a CCA is already in existence and is mayoral, any such regulations must have the consent of the relevant council and the mayor of the CCA.
	Subsections (7) provides that, where a CCA is already in existence and is not mayoral, any such regulations require the consent of relevant council and the CCA, which must be decided at a meeting of the CCA by a simple majority of voting members who are present at the meeting (subsection (9)).
	Subsection (8) defines the term "relevant council" as used in this section.
	Subsections (10) disapplies subsections (5), (6) and (7) where such regulations are made in as a result of the duty in section 28(3).
	Subsections (11) and (12) provide that, where set out in a CCA’s local constitution, a decision to change that provision must be decided at a meeting of the CCA by a simple majority of voting members who are present at the meeting.
	Subsection (13) defines the term "voting member" as used in this section.
