| Company Profile |
Local Government consists of a number of Local Authorities:- Twenty-nine County Councils
- Five City Councils
- Five Borough Corporations
- Seventy-five Town Councils
The
purpose of Local Government is to enable people at local level to
provide services for themselves, to exercise some control over their
affairs and to make decisions through the democratic process.
Local
Residents elect individuals to represent them on the various
authorities. Elected representatives make decisions on behalf of their
constituents and also levy local taxes to fund service provision.
Local
Authorities carry out a broad range of activities that make a
significant contribution to the physical, cultural, social and
environmental development of their communities.
These services include:
Physical
Planning and Development, Roads, Sanitary Services, Housing, Waste
Management, Fire Protection, Libraries and Museums, Environmental
Protection, Parks, Amenities and Arts.
There is a close working
relationship between Local Authorities and various resident and
community groups in the preparation of Urban and Rural Renewal Schemes
and other local action plans.
