Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

The council can sell or lease houses and sections of land that they own. You might be wondering what this means for you, but this part of the law is no longer in effect. It was repealed, which means it was cancelled, on 1 July 2003, by section 266 of the Local Government Act 2002, which you can find more information about on the Local Government Act 2002 page.
