Local authorities may mark significant historical events by hosting commemoration ceremonies or exhibitions, laying wreaths, holding prayer or memorial services, or planting trees.
Local authorities may monitor economic performance indicators. These indicators include employment, enterprise, investment, housing, consumer behaviour and commercial property to benchmark their progress against local and national policy targets.
Public libraries may host literary festivals, poetry readings, creative writing classes, and panel discussions with authors to promote reading and writing.
Local authorities, together with other stakeholders, advertise job vacancies, shortlist candidates, carry out assessments and hold interviews to appoint successful candidates.
