EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order makes provision for a new uniform registration system to govern use of the main inland waterways in respect of which the Environment Agency is the navigation authority. The particular waterways to which the Order relates comprise certain waterways known as the Anglian waterways, the river Thames above Teddington Lock and the Upper Medway in Kent. The Order also confers additional powers upon the Environment Agency in respect of the waterways and amends or repeals provisions of existing legislation where required in consequence of the new powers conferred by the Order. It also amends the existing definitions of the Anglian waterways to bring within the Agency’s jurisdiction an additional stretch of the Little Ouse between Brandon Staunch and Brandon Bridge and the Great Ouse Relief Channel between the Head sluice lock at Denver and the Tail sluice at Saddlebrow.
