, a council's share of the amount to be contributed by the
constituent councils is payable by the council in approximately equal
instalments on 30 September, 31 December, 31 March and 30 June in the year to
which the contribution relates and interest accrues on any amount unpaid at
the rate and in the manner prescribed by regulation.

equal instalments on 31 December, 31 March and 30 June in that year.
(3) An amount payable
