W
HEREAS the urban district of Hoylake in the
county palatine of Chester (hereinafter called
" the district") is under the local government of the
urban district council of Hoylake (hereinafter called
" the Council"):
And whereas there are within the district certain
common lands of the manor of Great Meols over which
so far as is known no common or other rights have been
exercised for many years and it is not known by whom
and to what extent such rights are now exerciseable :
And whereas by section 53 of the Hoylake and
West Kirby Improvement Act 1900 it was provided that

District Council Act, 1935.
A.D.
1935. the said common lands should be enclosed upon the terms
set forth in that section but the provisions of that section
have not been put into full effect:
And whereas owing to the development of the
district and the circumstances arising therefrom it would
be of public advantage that the Council should be
empowered to acquire and hold the said lands as public
walks or pleasure grounds for all time (with the exception
of the parts specifically referred to in this Act) and that
the future exercise of common rights (if any) and of the
rights (if any) under the said Act of 1900 should be
extinguished except as hereinafter provided :
And whereas by section 67 of the Hoylake and West
Kirby Improvement Act 1900 it was enacted that the
lands within a distance of nineteen feet six inches on each
side of the centre line of the Meols sewer authorised by
that Act should be deemed to be a street within the
meaning of the Private Street Works Act 1892 of a width
of thirty-nine feet and that no person should without the
consent of the Council erect any building upon or over
any part of the site of such street with the proviso that
the owners of the lands or premises fronting adjoining or
abutting on such street should not become liable for the
cost of the private street works in such street unless or
until lands abutting upon such street for a length equal
to one-half of the frontage of such street should be used
for building purposes or unless or until the owners of such
lands for a length equal to three-fourths of the said
frontage should in writing request the Council to carry
out the private street works :
And whereas building has taken place on both
sides of the centre line of the said Meols sewer for a
considerable distance but in consequence of the before-
recited proviso to the said section 67 it has been
impossible to put into operation the provisions of the
Private Street Works Act 1892 in respect of the street
co-extensive with such building and the development
of the lands adjoining the centre line of the Meols sewer
has been retarded and it is expedient that the said
proviso should be repealed :
And whereas it is expedient to confer upon the
Council the further powers with regard to the acquisition
retention and development of lands in this Act contained:

And whereas it is expedient to make further and A.D. 1935.
better provision with regard to streets and buildings
in the district and the health local government and
improvement of the district and to enlarge the powers
of the Council with regard to those matters as provided
by this Act:
And whereas the Council supply water gas and
electricity in the district and it is expedient to enact
the provisions with regard to the water gas and electricity
undertakings of the Council set forth in this Act:
And whereas it is expedient that the other provisions
contained in this Act should be enacted :
And whereas the purposes of this Act cannot be
effected without the authority of Parliament:
And whereas in relation to the promotion of the
Bill for this Act the requirements of Part XIII of the
Local Government Act 1933 have been observed :
And whereas plans showing the lands proposed to
be acquired under the powers of this Act and a book
of reference to those plans containing the names of the
owners and lessees or reputed owners and lessees and of
the occupiers of the lands required or which may be taken
for the purposes or under the powers of this Act were
duly deposited with the clerk of the county council of
the administrative county of the county palatine of
Chester and are in this Act referred to as the deposited
plans and book of reference :
May it therefore please Your Majesty that it may be
enacted and be it enacted by the King's most Excellent
Majesty by and with the advice and consent of the Lords
Spiritual and Temporal and Commons in this present
Parliament assembled and by the authority of the same
as follows (that is to say):—
