(This note is not part of the Order)
The Leicestershire (City of Leicester and District of Rutland) (Structural Change) Order 1997 (SI 1996/507) effected structural and boundary changes affecting the county of Leicestershire and the district of Rutland.
Under Part III of the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980 (Direct Labour Organisations) and Part I of the Local Government Act 1988 (competition), work contracts may be let by local authorities, and work falling within certain defined activities may be carried out by local authorities, only if particular conditions are fulfilled. Following the structural changes to Leicestershire and Rutland, this Order exempts Leicestershire County Council and the Council of the district of Rutland from those conditions for a transitional period ending on 30th September 1998.
