Schedule 1 – Change from alternative to executive arrangements Part 7 – Communities and Community councils Section 105 – Power of community meeting to apply for an order grouping its community with other communities under a common community council
118.Introduces a new section 27E in the 1972 Act to set out the conditions which must be met before a community meeting may apply to the principal council for its area for an order grouping its community with other communities under a common community council. The provisions are essentially the same as those for establishing a community council under the new section 27A, with the additional condition at subsection (7) requiring applications to be made jointly with the other communities involved in the prospective grouping.
