(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order designates descriptions of land which are exempted from the application of Chapter 1 (controls on dogs) of Part 6 (dogs) of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005 (“the Act”) (article 3), for the purposes specified in relation to each description.

Two descriptions of land are designated in this Order. They are—

(ii)land which is, or forms part of, a road.

The effects of the exemptions made by this Order are:

(i)in relation to the former description of land, to prevent a dog control order being made which provides for an offence or offences relating to the control of dogs in respect of that land; and

(ii)in relation to latter description of land, to prevent a dog control order being made which provides for an offence or offences relating to the exclusion of dogs from that land.

1967 c. 10; section 39(1) was amended by S.I. 1999/1747, article 3 and Schedule 12, Part II, paragraph 4(1) and (28).
