Originally published in 1974, this book filled a gap in its examination and evaluation of the way in which English local government forms a part of democratic society. Modern society is complex and although local government brings many benefits to ordinary people, it also circumscribes what they may do, particularly with regard to planning, education, housing, conservation and the environment. Local government is judged by its ability to raise the necessary finance, set its priorities and successfully provide services for local people. It is also judged by those democratic criteria of justice, impartiality, fairness and openness that are a mark of democratic society in all its aspects. This book examines these issues in the light of the reformed local government of the late 20th Century and traces the roots of the present system into the ideals and achievements of the great Victorian reformers.
