| Summary: |
Part II of the Local Government Act 2000 provides for the National Assembly for Wales to specify which local authorities may operate "alternative arrangements" (i.e. arrangements for the discharge of the authority's functions which do not involve the creation and operation of an executive of the authority) (section 31(1)(b)) and what form those arrangements should take (section 32(1)).
These Regulations permit all county councils and county borough councils in Wales to operate alternative arrangements provided that those arrangements are in the form required by these Regulations.
These Regulations specify functions that are not to be the responsibility of a Board or are to be the responsibility of a Board only to a limited extent or only in specified circumstances. These Regulations revoke the Local Authorities (Alternative Arrangements) (Wales) Regulations 2001, the Local Authorities (Alternative Arrangements) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2002, the Local Authorities (Alternative Arrangements) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2003 and the Local Authorities (Alternative Arrangements) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2004, consolidate the provisions of those regulations and make further provision.
