Study note

Towns, cities and rural areas in the UK are run by local authorities, often called councils. Councils provide local services such as rubbish collection, schools, housing and roads, and are funded partly by council tax paid by local residents.

Memory tip: Councils run local services (bins, schools, roads); paid for partly by council tax.
