Summary: Local government law and practice has always been susceptible to reorganisation following a change of central administration, so important developments were to be expected after the May 1979 election. In the event, the major measures which were introduced fully necessitated a fresh appraisal of the legal principles underlying local authority activities. Most sections of this standard work have, therefore, undergone substantial revision. In Principles of Local Government Law emphasis is laid upon providing a detailed review of the powers and duties of local authorities in the many fields in which they operate. Areas covered include finance, rating, judicial control, highways and education. The Local Government Planning and Land, Highways and Housing Acts-key statutes in the 1980 legislative programme are incorporated carefully at all.relevant points. Local authority responsibility for pollution control also receives greater close and updated attention. Extracts from leading cases are set out where appropriate throughout a book which is ideally equipped to serve thos with examinations in local government law. Cross is tho established as the essential source of ready reference fo. and local government officers: this new edition will be w. welcomed.
