Local government services
Local government is a huge service provider – education, environmental health, housing, social care and many more, all of which benefit the local community. Local councils either provide services directly to the public or arrange for other organisations to provide them. Most of these services affect the daily lives of local people in a major way.
The leisure centre you keep fit in, the collection of your household rubbish, the school you or your children go to, the care of those who are disadvantaged, the hygiene standards in your local restaurants and shops, the range of reference materials in your local library – all of these things are the council’s responsibility, plus many more besides.
