UEFA European Championship Bill: BRIA

Implementation and delivery plan

Draft regulations were laid on 17 February 2020. Other regulations will be laid in due course. Subject to Parliamentary approval of these regulations, it is expected that guidance on what restrictions will apply, where and when will be produced so that this can be published as soon as possible after the regulations are passed to allow local businesses and others affected by the legislation to understand what is and is not permissible in the event zones. This will allow them to understand the restrictions and take any action that is required to prepare. This guidance is expected to be made available in a range of formats, including hard copy and online. It is expected that the Guidance will be published in April 2020 with the event zones becoming operational in June 2020.

The Act provides that Glasgow City Council will offer existing street traders who cannot trade in their usual area alternative trading arrangements during the time when the trading offence applies. It is expected that Glasgow City Council will approach traders, beginning in April 2020, to discuss potential alternative arrangements.‎
