What it actually says
Section 136 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 provides for the transfer of certain property, rights, and liabilities of the Countryside Commission to the Welsh Council. This includes land, buildings, equipment, and other assets held by the Countryside Commission that relate to its activities in Wales.
The transfer is made under a scheme, and is one of a set of provisions (sections 128 to 138) that establish the Welsh Council and define its resources. The exact property and terms of transfer are set out in the scheme, not in the section itself.
When it applies
- A building owned by the Countryside Commission in Cardiff is handed over to the Welsh Council for use as an office.
- A conservation project funded by the Countryside Commission is transferred to the Welsh Council's management.
- The Countryside Commission's fleet of vehicles used for countryside management in Wales becomes owned by the Welsh Council.
- A nature reserve owned by the Countryside Commission in Wales is formally transferred to the Welsh Council.
What this section does not say
- This section does not cover the transfer of staff or employment contracts; that is dealt with in s.137.
- It does not cover the transfer of property from the Nature Conservancy Council; that is in s.135.
- It does not govern the ongoing functions of the Welsh Council after transfer; those are in ss.130-134.
That's the law. Now let's settle your problem.
Say what is happening. A neutral mediator hears your side and the other party's, and walks you both to a written agreement. In the advanced settings you can ask for the decision to be reasoned on the Acts of Parliament that apply in England and Wales.
Or open a session directly and invite the other party.
