517J: Service of transfer proposal

You could also call this:

"Telling people about a plan to change who runs a service"

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

When you file a transfer proposal under section 517E, you or your representative must give a copy of the proposal to certain people. You must do this as soon as possible after filing the transfer petition and proposal. You need to give the copy to the people who use the scheme that the proposal is about, including those who operate drainage or water supply systems that use the scheme. You also need to give a copy to every other user of the scheme and to local authorities in areas where the scheme is located or might be affected by the transfer. This does not include the local authority that already controls the scheme.
