Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Under Part I of the Local Government Act 1988 (competition), work falling within certain defined activities may be carried out by local authorities only if certain conditions are fulfilled. The Local Government Act 1988 (Defined Activities) (Competition) (England) Regulations 1988 apply those conditions to work consisting of the maintenance of ground, in successive stages.

Under these regulations the Tunbridge Wells Borough Council may not carry out more than 80 per cent. of such work proposed to be undertaken by them without complying before 1st January 1993 with those conditions. These Regulations postpone the date for such compliance to 1st July 1993.
