EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the order)

This order amends the Traffic Management Act 2004 (Commencement No. 5 and Transitional Provisions) (England) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/2053 (C.78)) as amended by S.I. 2008/757 (C.35).

The order corrects a drafting error in the transitional modification made by article 8(2)(b) to section 4(12) of the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003 (c. iii). The drafting error was in article 5 of S.I. 2008/757 (C.35) which inserted article 8 into S.I. 2007/2053 (C.78). The transitional modification relates to the procedure for setting levels of penalty charges for traffic contraventions enforced under that Act, having the effect of applying the procedure, laid out in Part 2 of Schedule 9 to the Traffic Management Act 2004 (c.18), to the setting of penalty charge levels under the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003 (c. iii).

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as there is no anticipated impact on the private or voluntary sectors and costs to the public sector are estimated at less than £5 million.
