Traditionally this has been responsible for a wide range of service - including at verious times gas, electricity, further and higher education, and water.
Today,however, things are very different.
Elected local government has seen a loss of powers and responsibilities.
It now 'shares the turf' with a wide varietyof agencies (e.g. health authorities, police authorities, primary care groups), none of which is directly elected. Elected local government is now but one part of a complex mosaic of organizations delivering services at the local level; the term 'local governance' is used increasingly to describe public administrative activity at the local level.
