Section 81(4)(a) of the Local Government Act 2001 provides that assistance by a county council under the local improvements scheme is conditional on a prior written agreement by the parties concerned with the county council and a financial contribution by such parties. The local improvements scheme memorandum, issued by my Department in 2002, reminded county councils of this provision and that prior to the carrying out of an approved project written consent should be obtained from all land-holders whose land or interests are likely to be affected. There is no proposal to amend existing provisions in this regard.
