A guide to the duties and responsibilities of the elected council member. This edition has been updated to take account of the latest legislation and practice. Designed to assist councillors in the appreciation of the working of a council, the scope of the book is such that a better understanding of local administration will be afforded to anyone involved in the process. Areas of particular attention are: the structure of local government; the relationship between local and central government; the status, conduct and privileges of councillors; the procedure at council meetings, on committees and representation on other bodies; claims for allowances; and the officers of the local authority and their role.
