Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

The council can sell or lease land that they do not need. You can find more information about this in section 561 of the Local Government Act 1974, but it is no longer part of the law because it was repealed. It was repealed on 1 July 2003 by section 266 of the Local Government Act 2002, which you can read about on the legislation website.
