Overview

The Localism Act 2011 can viewed as part of the Government's provisions for decentralisation; giving employees, parish councils, community and voluntary groups the ability to come up with ideas about how services can be run differently.

This briefing from Eversheds looks at the key provisions of the Localism Act, with a particular focus on the new rights for local communities, such as the right to nominate assets of community value; the community right to challenge; and new procedures for referendums relating to Council tax increases.
