Local Government Act 1974

Sewerage and stormwater drainage by territorial authorities - Money payable by owners and occupiers

466: Advances to property owners for clearing or covering in watercourses

You could also call this:

"Help for landowners to clear or cover streams and rivers on their property"

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

If you own property, you might get money to help clear or cover watercourses on your land. This money is an advance, which means you get it before the work is done. The rule about getting this money is found in section 466 of the Local Government Act 1974, but this rule is no longer in effect because it was repealed on 1 July 2003 by section 266 of the Local Government Act 2002, which you can read more about on the Legislation website.
