f1: 2004 c.18.
f2: 2000 c.38; section 144(3) was modified by S.I. 2007/2053 (as inserted by S.I. 2008/757), for a transitional period beginning with 31st March 2008. (See also the correction slip dated June 2009 (ISBN 978-0-11-081271-7) which made a minor correction to S.I. 2008/757). The powers conferred by section 144 are conferred on “the relevant national authority”. By virtue of section 144(14), the Secretary of State is the “relevant national authority”, as respects England.
f3: By the Cheshire (Structural Changes) Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/634), the county of Cheshire was abolished and its county council wound up and dissolved (article 5). That order established a new non-metropolitan county and a new non-metropolitan district, each to be known as Cheshire West and Chester (article 4(1)).
f4: The Secretary of State is, by virtue of section 92 of the Traffic Management Act 2004, the ‘appropriate national authority’ as regards England for the purposes of Part 6 of that Act.
