CHAPTER lxxxvi.
An Act to provide for regulating certain lands in
A.D.
1932.
the Parts of Lindsey Lincolnshire known as the —
Sandhills to confer powers upon the county
council of the said Parts of Lindsey with reference

W
HEREAS the administrative county of the Parts of
Lindsey Lincolnshire is bounded on the east by
the North Sea and there are situate between the foreshore
and certain enclosed lands in that county certain other
lands which are for the most part open or waste lands
and are locally known as the Sandhills (hereinafter
referred to as " the Sandhills ") and which until recently
were and to a large extent still are open to and freely
used by the public :
And whereas in recent years parts of the Sandhills
have been enclosed or built upon but in many cases the
persons so enclosing or building are believed to have had
no sufficient right or title so to do :
And whereas the enclosing of parts of the Sandhills
deprives the public of access thereto and enjoyment
thereof and many of the buildings and structures erected
upon the Sandhills are unsightly or otherwise of an
undesirable character and many of the said buildings and
structures used for human habitation are not provided
with a proper water supply or sanitary conveniences :
