Paragraph 7 INTRODUCTION

Further action may not be necessary but if it is, intervention in the strictest sense will occur when provision is made by way of an intervention order for or in connection with the appointment of a traffic director. The traffic director will be given such objectives and powers as the Secretary of State considers will secure that the duty in question is properly performed. Section 21(5) sets out the general powers which may be conferred on a traffic director and these will allow him to monitor and report on any matter, intervene in activities of an authority and carry out any of their functions.
