# The Disused Mine and Quarry Tips (Prescribed Forms) Regulations 1969, Note: Explanatory note


Part II of the Mines and Quarries (Tips) Act 1969 gives local authorities functions in relation to disused tips which, by reason of instability, constitute a public danger. They may require the owner of the tip to carry out remedial operations; or they may carry out remedial operations themselves. Also, an owner who is required to carry out such operations may require the local authority to carry out those operations itself. These Regulations prescribe the form of the notices which are required to be served in connection with these procedures.
