The Recreation Grounds (Revocation of Parish Council Byelaws) Order 2005

This Order revokes the byelaws specified in the Schedule to the Order, which were made in exercise of the powers conferred on parish councils by section 8(1)(d) of the Local Government Act 1894 (56 and 57 Vict. c. 73). The relevant part of that section was repealed by section 272(1) of, and Schedule 30 to, the Local Government Act 1972. The byelaws continued in force notwithstanding the repeal by virtue of section 262(1) of the 1972 Act. The byelaws are revoked as being substantially superseded by byelaws made under other enactments.
