This Order is made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 5(1A) of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998[1].
An application for an Order containing the provisions set out below has been made jointly by all persons who would be responsible authorities in relation to a combined area consisting of the local government areas of Dartford Borough Council and Gravesham Borough Council.
The Secretary of State considers it would be in the interests of reducing crime and disorder and of combatting the misuse of drugs to make such an Order.
Accordingly the Secretary of State makes the following Order:
1.
This Order may be cited as the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (Responsible Authorities) (No. 2) Order 2007 and shall come into force on 31st July 2007.
2.
The functions conferred by sections 6 to 7 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998[2] are to be carried out in relation to the local government areas of Dartford Borough Council and Gravesham Borough Council as if they constituted only one area ("the combined area").
3.
The persons who for the purposes of Chapter 1 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 are to be taken as the responsible authorities in relation to the combined area are the persons who, apart from this Order, would be a responsible authority in relation to any one or more of the areas included in the combined area.
