(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends several Designation Orders (which make arrangements for enforcing parking controls in designated areas) to remove the modification provided for in Part II of Schedule 3 of each Order. Articles 2 and 3 of this Order have the effect of, in the parking areas established by the Designation Orders referred to in Article 2, further decriminalising the offence provided for at section 35A(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 so far as it relates to the contravention of, or non-compliance with provision in any order made under section 35 of that Act (use of parking places) applying in relation to a stationary vehicle.

Article 4(a), (b) and (d) makes equivalent amendments to the Road Traffic (Permitted Parking Area and Special Parking Area) (South Lanarkshire Council) Designation Order 2005. Article 4(c) corrects an error in paragraph 7(a) of Part I of Schedule 3 to that Order.
