Drainage Act 1991, as amended by the Flood and Water Management Act
2010. For the administrative areas of TBC; GCC will delegate the
responsibilities for administering certain sections of the 1991 Act
under Section 13(4) of the 2010 Act, which states that 'a risk
management authority may arrange for a flood risk management
