EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order amends the Road Traffic (Permitted Parking Areas and Special Parking Areas) (City of Oxford and Parish of North Hinksey) Order 1996 ("the principal Order") which designated permitted parking areas and special parking areas in the City of Oxford and the adjoining Parish of North Hinksey.

Paragraph 5 of Schedule 2 to the principal Order modified section 73 of the Road Traffic Act 1991 (parking adjudicators) in its application to the designated areas so that adjudicators appointed by the Joint Committee of London authorities are authorised to act in relation to those areas. Article 3 of this Order amends the modifications of section 73 in the principal Order to provide for the appointment of adjudicators to act in the designated areas through a joint committee of local authorities, none of which are London authorities. Article 4 makes a drafting amendment to the modifications of section 82 and article 5 revokes a modification to paragraph 2 of Schedule 6.
