Explanatory note

This order applies to the Isles the provisions of the Act set out in the Schedule to the order, modified as also set out therein, as if the Isles were a district. These provisions relate to the unauthorised dumping of vehicles and other refuse and the removal of such vehicles and refuse by local authorities.
