Previous Orders (S.I. 1984/1926, 1985/1629 and 1986/2034) have postponed until the end of 1987 the date on which all local statutory provisions applying to the local government areas or parts thereof listed in the Schedules to those Orders were to cease to have effect. This Order further postpones that date until the end of 1988 in respect of those local government areas listed in the Schedule to this Order.
