This Order amends Schedule 1 to the Safety of Sports Grounds (Designation) Order 2015 (S.I. 2015/661) to omit the entries for the Talbot Athletic Ground in Port Talbot, Crane Park in Camborne, and the Recreation Ground in Redruth. These three sports grounds no longer satisfy the conditions which would entitle the Secretary of State to designate them as requiring safety certificates under section 1 of the Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this Order as no significant impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen. An Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared and is available alongside this instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
