The British Railways Act 1990 (“the 1990 Act”) authorised the construction of a railway at Warrington (“the Arpley Chord”). Under section 28 of the 1990 Act the powers of compulsory purchase for the acquisition of land for the construction of the Arpley Chord cease on 31st December 1994.

This Order extends to 31st December 1999 the time within which the British Railways Board may exercise the powers of compulsory purchase in the 1990 Ac so far as they relate to the Arpley Chord.

The applicants for the Order are the British Railways Board.
