(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order designates the area described in the Schedule as a civil enforcement area and a special enforcement area for the purposes of Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004. The practical effect of the Order is to enable the County Council of the City and County of Cardiff to enforce parking contraventions within the area described in the Schedule to the Order through a civil law regime, as opposed to enforcement by police or traffic wardens in a criminal law context.
These powers are exercisable by the Welsh Ministers by virtue of paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006, pursuant to which the Welsh Ministers are the 'appropriate national authority' as regards Wales under section 92(1) of the Traffic Management Act 2004. Back [2]
