Coming into force

This Order is made in exercise of the powers conferred on the National Assembly for Wales by paragraph 8(1) of Schedule 8 and paragraph 3(1) of Schedule 10 to the Traffic Management Act 2004(1) and now vested in the Welsh Ministers(2).
Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council has applied to the Welsh Ministers for an order to be made under these powers with respect to part of its area.
The Welsh Ministers have consulted the chief officer of the South Wales Police in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 8(3) of Schedule 8 and 3(4) of Schedule 10 to the Traffic Management Act 2004.
Accordingly, the Welsh Ministers make this Order.
1. This Order is called the Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (County Borough of Merthyr Tydfil) Designation Order 2011 and comes into force on 11 January 2012.
2. The Welsh Ministers designate the area described in the Schedule as-
(a)a civil enforcement area for parking contraventions; and
(b)a special enforcement area.
Carl Sargeant
Minister for Local Government and Communities, one of the Welsh Ministers

Article 2
Area designated as a civil enforcement area for parking contraventions and a special enforcement area
This Order applies to the whole of the County Borough of Merthyr Tydfil with the exception of-
(a)the entire length of the A4060 from its junction with the A470 Abercanaid roundabout to its junction with the A465 Dowlais roundabout including the circulatory carriageway of the Pentrebach roundabout Triangle Business Park roundabout and Mountain Hare roundabout;
(b)that length of the A470 from the boundary with the County Borough of Rhondda Cynon Taff at a point approximately 320 metres north of the A470 Abercynon roundabout to the boundary with the County Borough of Rhondda Cynon Taff at a point approximately 895 metres north of the Cefn Coed roundabout including the circulatory carriageway of the Abercanaid roundabout, Rhydycar roundabout and Swansea Road roundabout;
(c)that length of the A470 from the boundary with the County Borough of Rhondda Cynon Taff at a point approximately 351 metres south of the A4054 Upper High Street Cefn Coed junction to the boundary with the County of Powys at Pont-Llysiog; and
(d)that length of the A465 from the boundary with the County Borough of Caerphilly at a point approximately 550 metres east of the A465 Dowlais Top roundabout to the boundary with the County Borough of Rhondda Cynon Taff at a point approximately 13 metres east of its junction with the B4276 Merthyr Road including all slip roads and the circulatory carriageway of the A465/A4060 Dowlais roundabout, A465 Dowlais Top roundabout and Cefn Coed roundabout.
(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 Council of the County Borough of Merthyr Tydfil 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 section 162 of, and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to, the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32), pursuant to which the Welsh Ministers are the 'appropriate national authority' as regards Wales under section 92(1) of the Traffic Management Act 2004.
