# The Harrogate Stray Act 1985 (Tour de France) Order 2014, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
The Harrogate Stray Act 1985 is a local Act which confers powers, obligations and restrictions on Harrogate Borough Council in respect of the management of the area in Harrogate known as the Stray.
Section 5(1) of the Localism Act provides the Secretary of State with the power to amend, repeal, revoke or disapply a provision that prevents or restricts a local authority from exercising the general power of competence under section 1 of the Localism Act 2011. This Order is made under that power.
This Order temporarily disapplies or amends the provisions of the Harrogate Stray Act 1985 set out in article 2(1) and (2) for the period of time specified in article 2(4). The disapplications are made to enable Harrogate Borough Council to host the 2014 Tour de France and for associated purposes including preparation.
Copies of the Maps showing the areas to which the disapplications apply have been prepared by Harrogate Borough Council and have been deposited in the offices of the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (Eland House, Bressenden Place, London, SW1E 5DU) and the offices of Harrogate Borough Council (Springfield House, Kings Road, Harrogate, HG1 5NX). An indicative map, prepared by the Department for Communities and Local Government, is included below.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
