# The Goods Vehicles (Prohibitions) (Exemptions and Appeals) Regulations 1987, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke and re-enact, with changes, the Goods Vehicles (Prohibitions) (Exemptions and Appeals) Regulations 1971.
There are only drafting amendments in the provision (regulation 3) prescribing the exemptions from section 57(9)(a) of the Road Traffic Act 1972. In the provision (regulation 4) relating to appeals against a refusal to remove a prohibition, there are new provisions requiring the appeal to contain a statement of the grounds on which it is made, and that the appeal be lodged at the Goods Vehicle Centre, Swansea (instead of at a traffic area office).
