  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThe Central Rating Lists Regulations 1989 designate certain persons, prescribe in relation to them certain descriptions of non-domestic hereditaments and require the names of those persons and the hereditaments falling within those descriptions to be shown in a central rating list.\nRegulation 2 of these Regulations provides in relation to England and Wales that certain property occupied or, if unoccupied, owned by the British Railways Board or Railtrack PLC which would, apart from these Regulations, be more than one hereditament shall be treated, together with other specified property, as one hereditament. Each hereditament described in regulation 2 shall be treated as occupied by the British Railways Board or Railtrack PLC, as the case may be.\nThe amendments made by regulation 3 relate to the designation of persons in relation to railway hereditaments. The designation is amended in consequence of the transfer to Railtrack PLC by the British Railways Board of certain property in pursuance of powers contained in the Railways Act 1993.\nThe amendment made by regulation 4 relates to the designation of persons in relation to water supply hereditaments. The designation is amended in consequence of the fact that East Worcestershire Water Company has ceased to be a water undertaker for the purposes of the Water Industry Act 1991 (c. 56). By virtue of section 53(4) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988, the amendment has effect retrospectively from 1st September 1993, the date when East Worcestershire Water Company ceased to be a water undertaker.",
