Local authorities help Local Community Development Committees to create an integrated approach to community development by coordinating access to funding, developing and delivering projects, and promoting community engagement.
Local authorities may provide grants to those who own their own home to buy and install grab rails, level access showers, access ramps and stair lifts.
Owners of vehicles may tax their vehicle for the first time, renew motor tax or change vehicle details at their local authority or online at www.motortax.ie.
Local authorities provide information and advice about motor tax such as how to tax a vehicle, motor tax rates, fees, change of ownership and exemptions.
You can apply to the local authority for a motor tax refund if your taxed vehicle is scrapped, destroyed or stolen or is no longer being used on a public road.
Local authorities, together with the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service, run themed events during National Fire Safety Week. The events aim to raise awareness about fire safety and prevention in the home and community.
Local authorities, together with other agencies, may support community and voluntary groups to showcase initiatives that have created a long lasting impact in their community such as creative wellbeing, place and community tourism projects.
