Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order confirms with modifications a Scheme (“the present Scheme”) submitted by the National Rivers Authority for the reconstitution of the Denge and Southbrooks Internal Drainage Board. That Board was formerly constituted by the Scheme confirmed by the Romney and Denge Marsh Main Drains Catchment Board (Romney Marsh Level, Denge and Southbrooks and Level of New Romney Internal Drainage Districts) Order 1934S.R. & O. 1934/1053).

The principal change made by the present Scheme as modified is a reduction in the number of elected members of the Board from 12 to 6.
