This Order specifies the authorities listed in column (1) of the Schedule as approved local authorities for the purposes of section 144. No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been undertaken, since the Order is concerned with the enforcement of existing traffic restrictions and prohibitions and does not therefore constitute an additional burden on business. The costs incurred by local authorities undertaking enforcement are expected to be defrayed by penalty charge income. --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2005/2755 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/bus-lane-contraventions-approved-local-authorities-england-order-2005 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
