UK Local Government

UK local government refers to the system of administrative bodies responsible for delivering local services and making decisions within specific areas, such as counties, districts, or boroughs. These authorities handle services like education, waste collection, housing, transportation, and social care. They are elected by residents and operate independently of the national government, though they follow national laws. Local governments vary across the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland), with differing structures and responsibilities, all working to serve the needs of their communities efficiently and collaboratively.
