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 River Stour (Kent) Internal Drainage Board. That Board was formerly constituted by the Scheme confirmed by the Kent Rivers Catchment Board (River Stour (Kent) Internal Drainage Board) Order 1938 (S.R. & O. 1938/616).

The principal change made by the present Scheme as modified is a reduction in the number of elected members of the Board from 18 to 9.
