25.—(1) Where a tidal work is abandoned, or suffered to fall into decay, the Secretary of State for Transport may by notice in writing require the Rivers Authority at their own expense either to repair and restore the work, or any portion thereof, or to remove the work and restore the site thereof to its former condition to such an extent and within such limits as the Secretary of State for Transport thinks proper.
(2) Where works consisting partly of a tidal work and partly of works on or over land above the level of mean high-water springs are abandoned or suffered to fall into decay and that part of the work on or over land above the level of mean high-water springs is in such condition as to interfere or to cause reasonable apprehension that it may interfere with the right of navigation or other public rights over the foreshore, the Secretary of State for Transport may include that part of the work, or any portion thereof, in any notice under this Article.
(3) If, on the expiration of thirty days from the date when a notice under this Article is served upon the Rivers Authority, they have failed to comply with the requirements of the notice, the Secretary of State for Transport may execute the works specified in the notice and any expenditure incurred by him in so doing shall be recoverable from the Rivers Authority.
