The repeal by this Act of section 8 of the 1965 Act does not affect the vesting of land in any local authority (within the meaning of that Act) occurring by virtue of that provision.

Unless land so vesting is regulated by a scheme under the Commons Act 1899 (c. 30), sections 10 and 15 of the Open Spaces Act 1906 (c. 25) (power to manage and make byelaws) shall continue to apply to it as if the local authority had acquired the ownership under that Act of 1906.
