Local Authority Power

Local authority power refers to the authority and responsibility that local government bodies, such as city or county councils, have to make decisions and manage services within their area. They can create and enforce local laws, collect taxes, and deliver services like education, waste collection, and planning. Their powers are granted by national laws and regulations, allowing them to address community needs effectively. Essentially, local authorities govern and serve their communities by implementing policies and managing resources appropriate to their specific locality.
