When a proposal is made to reorganise local government, you might wonder what happens next. A survey is done to see what people think about the proposal. The proposal was once dealt with under section 31 of the Local Government Act 1974, but this section was repealed on 1 November 1989, by section 3(1) of the Local Government Amendment Act (No 2) 1989. This means that section 31 is no longer part of the law.
