3. British Waterways have also topped up stocks in the same watercourse below Thwaites Mill.
4. Seven years later, remedial works were still being carried out; the raised flood-banks set far too close to the watercourse were being eroded away; the stability of the downstream bridge was threatened; and the real cost to the public purse of what was a relatively small scheme originally has yet to be clearly counted.
5. The latter, s.92(1) (f), a sweeping up provision, would include, for example, "any pond, pool, ditch, gutter or watercourse prejudicial to health or a nuisance", designated a statutory nuisance by s.259(1) (a), and under s.101 certain smoke nuisances, the Clean Air Act 1956 having introduced a new system of control over emissions from chimneys but retained certain emissions as statutory nuisances subject to the control of the 1936 Act.
