(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes provision for a local authority to authorise a housing provider, as defined by section 20 of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing 2014 Act (the 2014 Act), to issue community protection notices (section 43) and fixed penalty notices (section 52).
Under section 53(1) of the 2014 Act a community protection notice or fixed penalty notice may be issued by a constable, a relevant local authority, or a person designated by the relevant local authority. Only a person specified in an order made by the Secretary of State may be designated in this way (section 53(4)).
An impact assessment was prepared for the 2014 Act and is available at www.gov.uk/government/publications/anti-social-behaviour-crime-and-policing-bill-anti-social-behaviour .
