It explores the different types of councils, the roles of councillors and officers, council budgets, public participation, regulation, oversight, and the challenges facing modern local authorities. Whether you are trying to understand a planning decision, a housing issue, council tax, social care services, environmental services, or simply want to know how your local council operates, this book provides the knowledge needed to navigate local government with confidence.
