Explaining local government uniquely presents a history of local government in Britain since 1800 until the present day. The study explains how the institution evolved from a structure that appeared to be relatively free from central government interference to one of the most centralised systems of government in the Western world.

The fourth edition of Local government today is currently the most up-to-date textbook on local government in Britain. It analyses the structure and role of local government in the light of the most recent changes to the system. -- .
