Local authorities, together with other stakeholders, manage public health and safety by regularly inspecting local authority buildings and work activities, investigating accidents and incidents and taking appropriate action.
You must apply to the local authority for a permit if you want to erect a memorial plaque, tree or bench to honour a person, group of people or significant event.
Local authorities may run initiatives such as National Bike Week, Mobility Week, Car Free Day and the Pedometer Challenge to promote sustainable travel.
Local Enterprise Offices may provide financial support to small businesses to help them trade online, develop their websites and develop digital marketing strategies.
