Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the regulations on making gating orders under the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005 will come into force; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

The new powers will come into force on 1 April 2006. Upon commencement the Regulations will be accompanied by guidance which will enable them to be used immediately by practitioners.This new provision gives local authorities a much wider power for suspending highways so that a council can effectively deal with crime and antisocial behaviour in these instances.
