Everything you need to know about local councils

‘Local councils EXPLAINED’ is NALC’s new book about local councils, which will be published on 4th October.  The book provides easy to read narrative about the role of parish councils, their councillors and officers and how they work. There is comprehensive and practical guidance about the legal issues that local councils are exposed to.

With over 200 pages, including commentary about councillors’ interests, publication schemes, neighbourhood planning, data protection, contract negotiations, working with charities, predetermination, parish meetings, political groupings and publicity about the work of councils.
