When a new area is added to a district, you need to know about the rate for drainage. The rate for drainage in these new areas is covered by a law called the Local Government Act 1974. This law had a section about the rate for drainage, but it was repealed, which means it is no longer in force, by section 266 of the Local Government Act 2002, which you can find on the legislation website. You can find out more about when this change happened, which was on 1 July 2003. This change was made to the law to update it and make sure it still works for everyone.
