EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations make provision for the removal and disposal of vehicles under sections 99 to 102 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 as these sections have been applied by section 103 of that Act in relation to vehicles in any part of a loading area (as defined in section 61 of that Act) while the parking of such vehicles on that part is prohibited by virtue of that section (which relates to the control of parking on areas used for loading or unloading goods vehicles).

Regulation 2 empowers a duly authorised officer of the local authority to require the removal of a vehicle which is in a part of a loading area while the parking of it is prohibited by virtue of section 61 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

Regulation 3 empowers a duly authorised officer of the local authority to remove the vehicle if the person in charge of the vehicle fails or refuses to comply with the requirement made under regulation 2 or if there is no person present who is in charge of the vehicle and is able to remove it.

Regulation 4 applies to vehicles which have been removed under regulation 3 and which appear to have been abandoned under the provisions of the Removal and Disposal of Vehicles Regulations 1986 (S.I. 1986/183) which relate to the disposal of abandoned vehicles.

Charges for the removal, storage and disposal of vehicles are prescribed in the Removal, Storage and Disposal of Vehicles (Charges) Regulations 1985 (S.I. 1985/1661).
