On 23 November 2006 the Electoral Commission decided to accept the recommendations of the Boundary Committee for England without modifications.
On 25 January 2007 the Commission made the District of Newark and Sherwood (Electoral Changes) Order 2007 to implement their decision. Web and print versions of the Order are available at the Office of Public Sector Information's website, as are web and print versions of a subsequent amendment Order.
The Order describes most of the new district wards in its Schedule and refers to a map, which was re-issued by the amendment Order, comprising Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 3 and Sheet 4, of the other new district wards and the new parish wards. Mapping of the new district wards was available on Ordnance Survey's election maps website just before the elections in May 2007 that brought the new wards into force.
