Local Transport Act 2008

Section 87: Delegation of local authority functions

230.This section allows the Secretary of State to include provision in an order to delegate the exercise of functions of a county council or district council to:

  • an ITA; or

  • where an existing ITA has been dissolved or its boundary contracted, a designated local transport authority.

231.This power applies to such functions only in so far as they relate to the integrated transport area (or to a former such area), and only if the Secretary of State thinks it appropriate for the ITA or other authority to exercise that function.

232.Subsection (3) provides that an order made under section 87 may delegate functions of a “charging authority” to an ITA, but only where the conditions set out in that subsection are met. Functions of a charging authority include the power to make, vary or revoke a local road charging scheme under Part 3 of the TA 2000.
