EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order designates part of the area of each of The Derby City Council, The Hampshire County Council, The Northumberland County Council, The Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council and The Somerset County Council as a civil enforcement area for parking contraventions and as a special enforcement area for the purposes of Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004.
It simultaneously revokes the Road Traffic (Permitted Parking Area and Special Parking Area) (City of Derby) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/1445) and the Road Traffic (Permitted Parking Area and Special Parking Area) (Metropolitan Borough of Solihull) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/2535) made under the predecessor designation scheme contained in the Road Traffic Act 1991. Substantially the same areas as those previously designated by the 2006 and 2007 Orders are re-designated under the Traffic Management Act 2004 by this Order. However, in the case of The Derby City Council’s area there is a minor change to reflect the altered layout of the junction where the A6 road feeds into the A5111 road at Raynesway Park. In relation to The Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council’s area, the roads within the site of Birmingham International Airport, previously excluded under the 2007 Order, are now included within the designated area.
This Order also amends the Bus Lane Contraventions (Approved Local Authorities) (England) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/2755, “the 2005 order”).
The Bus Lane Contraventions (Penalty Charges, Adjudication and Enforcement) (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/2757), made under section 144 of the Transport Act 2000, provide for the enforcement of bus lane restrictions through the imposition, by approved local authorities, of penalty charges in respect of contraventions of such restrictions. By amending the 2005 order, this order specifies The Northumberland County Council as an approved local authority for the purposes of that section.
