Explanatory note

Part II of the Local Government Act 1992 makes provision for Local Government changes in England. Where recommendations for change are made by the Local Government Commission for England, the Secretary of State may make an order giving effect to those recommendations (“a reorganisation order”).

These Regulations make transitional and consequential amendments to enable the levying powers under the Transport Levying Bodies Regulations 1992 to be exercised in relation to authorities which succeed to or acquire all or part of the area of a relevant local authority under a reorganisation order. They also enable the powers to be exercised in relation to county councils which do not have the functions of district councils and in relation to certain billing authorities in advance of the reorganisation date.
