(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Central Rating Lists Regulations 1989.
The amendments made by paragraph (a) of regulation 2 relate to the description of certain water supply hereditaments for the purposes of rating those hereditaments en bloc. The description is amended to reflect the consolidation in 1991 of the legislation relating to water. The amendment made by paragraph (b) of regulation 2 relates to the designation of persons in relation to water supply hereditaments. The designation is amended in consequence of the Newcastle and Gateshead Water Company ("the Newcastle Company") ceasing to be a water undertaker for the purposes of the Water Industry Act 1991.
Regulation 3 provides, as authorised by section 53(4) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988, for the amendment in paragraph (b) of regulation 2 to have retrospective effect to 31st March 1992 when the Newcastle Company's appointment as a water undertaker was terminated.
1988 c. 41; subsection (4) of section 53 was substituted by paragraph 29(4) of Schedule 5 to the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 (c. 42).
