Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

The law used to say that a council could build or fix drainage systems outside its area. You need to know that this law is part of the Local Government Act 1974. A council's powers to do this were changed by the Local Government Act 2002, which you can read more about on the legislation website. This change happened on 1 July 2003. Now, this part of the law does not apply anymore because it was repealed.
