The Local Authorities (Alternative Arrangements) (Wales) Regulations 2007
Part II of the Local Government Act 2000 (“the 2000 Act”) provides for the National Assembly for Wales to specify which local authorities may operate “alternative arrangements” (i.e. arrangements for the discharge of the authority’s functions which do not involve the creation and operation of an executive of the authority) (section 31(1)(b)) and what form those arrangements should take (section 32(1)).
