The Southampton Corporation Act 1928 (18 & 19 Geo. 5. c. cviii) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that allowed the Southampton Corporation, now the city council, to acquire the running of both the Woolston Floating Bridge, as well as the Northam Bridge. The act also permitted the expansion of the Southampton Corporation Tramways, along Burgess Road. Finally, the act allowed the corporation to undertake the necessary borrowing to fund these projects.
The passing of the Southampton Corporation Act 1931 (21 & 22 Geo. 5. c. xcix) would later provide the precise figures for the cost of the acquisition of the Woolston Ferry.
