(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Local Authorities (Standing Orders) (England) Regulations 2001 which require certain local authorities in England to make or modify standing orders so that they include certain provisions relating to staff and other matters.
Regulation 2 provides that the votes at key budget decision meetings by local authorities are recorded. Regulation 3 makes amendments consequential on Part 3 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (which provided for the discontinuance of the mayor and council manager form of executive) and Part 1 of the Localism Act 2011 (which provided for local authorities to adopt either executive arrangements or the committee system).
Regulation 4 makes transitional provision.
No impact assessment has been prepared in relation to these Regulations because no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
