(c)F3. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[F4(ca)the power of an authorised officer of a local authority to give a notice under section 43(1) of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 (penalty notices in respect of graffiti or fly-posting); and]

(e)the power of an authorised officer of a primary or secondary authority, within the meaning of section 59 of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005, to give a notice under that section (fixed penalty notices in respect of offences under dog control orders).]

[F6(2A)The reference to the powers mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a) does not include those powers so far as they relate to an offence under the provisions in the following list—

  • section 1 of the Theft Act 1968,

  • section 87 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.]

(3)In this paragraph “relevant fixed penalty offence”, in relation to a designated person, means an offence which—

(a)is an offence by reference to which a notice may be given to a person in exercise of any of the powers mentioned in [F7sub-paragraph (2)(a) to (e)] ; and

(b)is specified or described in [F8a designation by which this paragraph is applied to the designated person as an offence which the designated person] has been designated to enforce under this paragraph.

[F9(3A)For the purposes of paragraph (e) of section 64A(1B) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (photographing of suspects in relation to fixed penalty offences) “relevant fixed penalty offence”, in relation to a designated person, includes an offence under a relevant byelaw within the meaning of paragraph 1ZA(4) (and, accordingly, the reference in that paragraph (e) to paragraph 1 of this Schedule includes a reference to paragraph 1ZA of this Schedule).]
