Governance and management of local authorities and community boards

38: Outline of Part

You could also call this:

“This section explains how local councils work and how people can have a say in their community”

This part of the law talks about two main things. First, it tells you about the rules and ideas that local authorities must follow when they run things. Second, it explains how community boards are set up and how they work. These community boards are a way for local people to have a say in what happens in their area.
