(This note does not form part of the Order)

Part I of the Local Government Act 1999 imposes duties on local and other authorities to make arrangements to secure continuous improvements in the way in which their functions are exercised (best value), to conduct best value reviews of their functions and to prepare a best value performance plan for each financial year.

Sections 2(5) and 29(1) of the Act enable the National Assembly for Wales, in relation to Wales, to exempt specified authorities, or specified descriptions of authority, from those duties in relation to specified functions.

This Order exempts community councils whose budgeted gross revenue expenditure for either of the financial years commencing on 1st April 1998 or 1st April 1999 did not exceed £1,000,000.
