(a)an agreement (in this Part of this Act referred to as a " maintenance agreement") under—
(i)section 5(3)(c) of the [1963 c. 33.] London Government Act 1963 (agreements between Greater London Council and other London authorities for the carrying out of works of maintenance by one party in connection with land or buildings for the maintenance of which another party is responsible), or
(ii)section 1 of the [1970 c. 39.] Local Authorities (Goods and Services) Act 1970 (in this Part of this Act referred to as " the 1970 Act") (which provides for the carrying out by a local authority of such works of maintenance as are referred to in subsection (1)(d) of that section); or
