Local Government Act 1974

Private works

673: Council may agree with owner to execute drainage and other works on private land

You could also call this:

"Council can fix problems on private land with the owner's agreement"

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

The council can make an agreement with a land owner to do work on their private land, like fixing drainage problems. You should know that this rule is part of the Local Government Act 1974. The rule about the council doing work on private land was repealed, which means it is no longer a law, by section 266 of the Local Government Act 2002, which you can find on the legislation website.
