Local Government Act (UK)

The Local Government Act in the UK is a key piece of legislation that outlines how local councils operate and manage public services. It provides the framework for local governance, including how councils are formed, their powers, and their responsibilities to the community. The act ensures local authorities can make decisions on issues like housing, education, and transportation, enabling them to reflect the needs of their residents. Over the years, various amendments have been made to adapt to changing societal needs and improve the efficiency of local government.
