The Localism Act 2011
The
Act represents a significant achievement for the local council
sector and concludes the first phase of work at national and
county level to increase the powers of, and give greater

significant change to the Act is on standards and codes of
conduct which has been secured as a result of intensive
lobbying and intervention by the National Association of Local
Councils.
