Local authorities support councillors in their role as elected representatives and policy makers by providing information about day to day local authority services, responding to questions and notices of motion, and supporting their work on council committees.
Local authorities may investigate and take action against developers of land or property who do have the required permission or have not met the terms of their permission.
Local authorities publish annual plans to outline the actions they intend to take to meet their commitments to deliver high-quality and efficient services.
