The Secretary of State granted to United Artists Communications (London South) PLC on 14th January 1994 a licence under section 7 of the Telecommunications Act 1984 to run the telecommunication systems specified in Annex A to the licence in the Croydon area.

A copy of the licence was laid before Parliament on 19th April 1994. This Order designates those telecommunication systems as public telecommunication systems. Consequently, by virtue of section 9(3) of that Act, United Artists Communications (London South) PLC will be a public telecommunications operator when the Order comes into force on 18th May 1994.

This licence replaces the licence granted by the Secretary of State to United Artists Commmunications (London South) PLC under its former name of Croydon Cable Television Limited on 30th September 1985 which is being revoked at the request of the licensee.

A copy of the licence may be obtained from the Office of Telecommunications, 50 Ludgate hill, London EC4M 7JJ.
