Great London Council

The Greater London Council (GLC) was the top-tier local government authority for Greater London from 1965 until 1986. It was responsible for coordinating services like transport, education, and housing across London boroughs. The GLC aimed to address issues affecting the entire city, such as urban planning and infrastructure. However, it was abolished in 1986 due to political disputes and a move towards localism, which transferred responsibilities to individual borough councils. The GLC's legacy includes ongoing discussions about governance and public services in London's diverse and complex environment.
