City Council

When I picked my brand I got 

City Council

I didn't really know anything about the city council, and so I decided to look into what it was and what it does exactly.

Types of Council

Many parts of England have 2 tiers of local government: 

• county councils
• district, borough or city councils

In some parts of the country, there’s just 1 (unitary) tier of local government providing all the local services. The 3 main types are: 

• unitary authorities in shire areas
• London boroughs 
• metropolitan boroughs

County councils

These are responsible for services across the whole of a county, like:

• education
• transport
• planning
• fire and public safety
• social care
• libraries
• waste management
• trading standards

District, borough and city councils

These cover a smaller area than county councils. They’re usually responsible for services like:

• rubbish collection
• recycling
• Council Tax collections
• housing
• planning applications

Services Leeds City Council provides...

(http://www.leeds.gov.uk/Pages/Default.aspx)

As you can see there are clearly a vast amount of services the council provides and there is a lot of information to consider and to take in, this format in itself is quite overwhelming, and I myself was really unaware of what the council actually does, and now I can see its a lot, and I will have to look further into this. 

I then discovered this is one sectioned named Residents 

and there are four other categories !

Your Council 

Whats On

Shows events happening around leeds, which there are a lot again, 

they can be categorised by 

However looking at the site page it is quite boring and doesn't look very exciting. 

One thing I also noticed is that the website has a lot of accessibility options and I think this is an important part as there are many different people who will access this website, you can select its appearance, the size of the text and the language.
