This Order is made in exercise of the powers conferred on the National Assembly for Wales by sections 74, 84 and 89 of, and paragraphs 8(1) of Schedule 8 and 3(1) of Schedule 10 to, the Traffic Management Act 2004(1). These powers are now vested in the Welsh Ministers(2).
Ceredigion County Council has applied to the Welsh Ministers for an order to be made under these powers with respect to the whole of its area.
The Welsh Ministers have consulted the chief officer of Dyfed Powys 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.

2.-(1) The Welsh Ministers designate the area described in paragraph (2) as-
(a)a civil enforcement area for parking contraventions; and
(b)a special enforcement area.
(2) The designated area is the County of Ceredigion.
(3) In this article-
"civil enforcement area" ("ardal gorfodi sifil") has the meaning given by paragraph 8 of Schedule 8 to the 2004 Act,
"parking contravention" ("tramgwydd parcio") has the meaning given by Part 1 of Schedule 7 to the 2004 Act,
"special enforcement area" ("ardal gorfodi arbennig") has the meaning given by paragraph 3 of Schedule 10 to the 2004 Act, and

Minister for Local Government and Communities, one of the Welsh Ministers

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order designates the County of Ceredigion as a civil enforcement area for parking contraventions, and as a special enforcement area, for the purposes of Schedules 8 and 10 to the Traffic Management Act 2004. The practical effect of the Order is to enable Ceredigion County Council to enforce parking contraventions within the County of Ceredigion through a civil law regime, as opposed to enforcement by police or traffic wardens in a criminal law context.
