The Roy Commission

The Roy Commission, formally known as the Royal Commission on Local Government, was established in the UK in 1976 to examine and recommend improvements to local government structures and functions. It aimed to address issues like efficiency, representation, and service delivery within local councils. The Commission's findings influenced the reorganization of local government in England and Wales, ultimately leading to the creation of more streamlined and effective local administrative systems, ensuring that communities received better services tailored to their specific needs. The Commission's work highlighted the importance of local governance in democracy and public service.
