LVRPA Byelaws
The LVRPA web site says consultation about new byelaws concluded on October 19, 2011. The site says the byelaws were confirmed by the Secretary of State on November 9, 2011. The web site says DEFRA had formally confirmed the byelaws and that the new version would soon appear on the web site. On May 5, 2012, six months after the confirmation the byelaws had not appeared. The version that follows is based on the LVRPA consultation document, dated September 13, 2011. It appears to have a seal at the end as well as the signatures of LVRPA's chairman and chief executive.
This date is quite remarkable because on September 15, 2011, LVRPA accepted it had made a mistake with the legal form of the consultations and stated there would be new consultations. Since the period of consultation was a month (see advert) and LVRPA said it was republishing the notice, it is hard to see how the process could possibly have been concluded by October 19, 2011.
At the user group (Filter Beds and Walthamstow Marshes User Forum held at the Ice Rink on Wednesday May 23, 2012) conflicting accounts were given to explain this incredible position. But one thing was in no doubt. The following byelaws are not yet operative.
LVRPA's ability to enact byelaws is based on the Lee Valley Regional Park Act (1966). To see a copy of the Lee Valley Regional Park Act 1966 click this link.
