LOCAL GOVERNMENT, WALES
Following the commencement of Part II of the Local Government Act 2000 (“the 2000 Act”) in Wales, Welsh county and county borough councils drew up proposals for the operation of either executive arrangements (under which certain functions of such local authorities are the responsibility of an executive) or the operation of alternative arrangements. In the case of executive arrangements, the local authority’s executive must take one of the forms specified in section 11(2) to (4) of the 2000 Act.
Directions4
A local authority must comply with any directions given by the Assembly for the purposes of these Regulations.
