  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations, extending only to Scotland, amend the Removal and Disposal of Vehicles Regulations 1986.\nWhere an application is made by a local authority and an order is made under Schedule 3 to the Road Traffic Act 1991 to designate an area as a permitted or special parking area certain powers may be given to parking attendants in terms of section 63A of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.\nThe effect of an order under Schedule 3 is that certain parking offences cease to apply in the area in question.\nIn circumstances in which (but for the disapplication of the offence provisions) an offence would otherwise be committed a parking attendant is given power in the new regulation 5B to remove vehicles.\nAs at the date of coming into force of these Regulations the City of Edinburgh is the only area in respect of which an order under Schedule 3 has been made.",
