This law explains when different parts of the Local Government Act 2002 start working. Some parts of the law start the day after the Queen or King says it’s okay. These parts include sections 5, 6, and 7, some parts of Part 6 and Part 7, and several other specific sections. It also includes Schedules 10 and 11. All these parts begin right away.
The rest of the law starts working on 1 July 2003. This means that after this date, all of the Local Government Act 2002 is in effect and you need to follow it.
