a counter noticeonthe Council that heisprepared to execute the work himself.
If no such counter notice is received, the Council may, after the expiration of
nine days from the service of the notice, enter the premises, execute the
necessary works and recover the expenses incurred in so doing.
One notice was served under this section and it was necessary for the
Council to undertake the work in the owner's default.
