The Order established a new combined coroner area for Kent and Medway by merging four previously distinct areas.
The Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (Alteration of Coroner Areas) Order 2025, effective July 1, 2025, merges four existing coroner areas in Kent and Medway—Central and South East Kent, Mid Kent and Medway, North East Kent, and North West Kent—into a single "Kent and Medway" area.
The order cites the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 as its legal basis and clarifies the definitions of "coroner area" and "new coroner area." No significant impact on the private, voluntary, or public sectors is anticipated.
