Also the 'law' under which this requirement was set must
have been made in Parliament originally. Local councils
cannot impose or make 'laws' they can only enforce or
accept powers devolved to them by Parliament. Bye Laws
are imposed under powers devolved to the council or other
bodies.
The Town Police Clauses Acts are a good example of this,
the local councils were given the opportunity to adopt
them but they had to take a 'package of laws' not
individual laws. Thus in some parts of the UK its
illegal to 'maintain' your car (carry out repairs, etc)
at the roadside except in the case of a breakdown while
in other areas just down the road it is not. To further
complicate the situation its the original council area
that adopted these 'clauses' that the law applies to
and not current boundaries!
