The structure of local Government in the UK

Britain‘s local government is a system of providing vital public services in a wide range of activities including social welfare, commerce, health, leisure or crime prevention. Local government in the UK comprises 467 major councils and 9.000 town/parish councils and employs one of the largest workforce in the UK.

All local authorities derive their powers from Parliament and the central government. Parliament can expand or abolish any particular authority. But local authorities have a considerable freedom to make arrangements for carrying out their duties. The main policies are decided by the full council, other matters concerning the various services are the responsibility of committees composed of the members of the council. The council can delegate to the committee or officer any functions except those concerned with finance. The public (including the press) is admitted to the council, committee and sub- committee meetings, and has a right of access to agendas, reports and minutes. Local authorities may exclude the public from the meetings and withhold their papers only under the limited circumstances.

Traditionally the most important local area is the country. It is the oldest local unit of government. England has been divided into counties for more than 1.000 years, there are fifty-three counties in England and Wales.

Within the counties the oldest units are the parishes. There are the local communities or villages, which were originally centred on the churches. The parish councils have a significant role in representing the interests of their residents to the larger councils in the area.

The districts are more modern local units of government, they are modern amalgamation of parishes.

In Greater London the local government authorities are the councils of thirty-two London boroughs and the Corporation of the City of London. In Scotland there are nine regions, divided into fifty-three districts. Northern Ireland is administered by twenty-six district councils.

don't suppose they had ever thought about railways except as a means of getting to Maskelyne and Cook's, the Pantomime, Zoological Gardens, and Madame Tussaud's. They were just ordinary suburban children, and they lived with their Father and Mother in an ordinary red-brick-fronted villa, with coloured glass in the front door, a tiled passage that was called a hall, a bath-room with hot and cold water, electric bells, French windows, and a good deal of white paint, and 'every modern convenience', as the house-agents say. There were three of them. Roberta was the eldest. Of course, Mothers never have favourites, but if their Mother had had a favourite, it might have been Roberta. Next came Peter, who wished to be an Engineer when he grew up; and the youngest was Phyllis, who meant extremely well. Mother did not spend all her time in paying dull calls to dull ladies, and sitting dully at home waiting for dull ladies to pay calls to her. She was almost always there, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them to do their home-lessons. Besides this she used to write stories for them while they were at school, and read them aloud after tea, and she always made up funny pieces of poetry for their birthdays and for other great occasions, such as the christening of the new kittens, or the refurnishing of the doll's house, or the time when they were getting over the mumps. These three lucky children always had everything they needed: pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely nursery with heaps of toys, and a Mother Goose wall-paper. They had a kind and merry nursemaid, and a dog who was called James, and who was their very own. They also had a Father who was just perfect--never cross, never unjust, and always ready for a game--at least, if at any time he was not ready, he always had an excellent reason for it, and explained the reason to the children so interestingly and funnily that they felt sure he couldn't help himself. You will think that they ought to have been very happy. And so they were, but they did not know how happy till the pretty life in the Red Villa was over and done with, and they had to live a very different life indeed. The dreadful change came quite suddenly. Peter had a birthday--his tenth. Among his other presents was a model engine more perfect than you could ever have dreamed of. The other presents were full of charm, but the Engine was fuller of charm than any of the others were. Its charm lasted in its full perfection for exactly three days. Then, owing either to Peter's inexperience or Phyllis's good intentions, which had been rather pressing, or to some other cause, the Engine suddenly went off with a bang. James was so frightened that he went out and did not come back all day. All the Noah's Ark people who were in the tender were broken to bits, but nothing else was hurt except the poor little engine and the feelings of Peter. The others said he cried over it--but of course boys of ten do not cry, however terrible the tragedies may be which darken their lot. He said that his eyes were red because he had a cold. This turned out to be true, though Peter did not know it was when he said it, the next day he had to go to bed and stay there.
