Local Authorities (Wales)

Local Authorities in Wales are regional government bodies responsible for providing essential services such as education, healthcare, transportation, waste management, and social services within their communities. They operate over specific geographic areas, making decisions tailored to local needs, and are funded mainly through local taxes and government grants. These authorities also play a role in planning and community development, ensuring public services meet residents' needs effectively. Overall, they serve as key institutions that support local well-being, development, and governance in Wales.
