Other measures


Policy area: London Local Government Publications


  • Soliciting Cartoontightens existing legislation controlling the sale of sex videos to also cover their display

  • allows council officers powers of entry (by force if necessary), search and seizure of goods from premises being used for temporary sleeping accommodation where enforcement notices have already been breached

  • prohibits soliciting people to sex establishments and certain other premises

  • allows councils to charge telecommunication companies for using underground pipes provided by the council (the date of implementation depends on the resolution of each borough)

  • allows burial authorities to disturb human remains that have been there for at least 75 years in order to deepen graves to allow more burials. The remains will have to be buried again in the same grave

  • makes it compulsory for mail forwarding businesses to register with their local council, and to keep records of their clients. The penalty for contravention is a fine up to £5,000. Councils can use their existing powers of entry, inspection and seizure for enforcement purposes (the date of implementation depends on the resolution of each borough)
