county councils
Local administrative bodies
County councils are elected bodies that govern counties in the United Kingdom and some other countries.
They handle local services like roads, schools, social care, and planning across a county's territory.
In areas with two-tier local government, county councils oversee broader regional matters while district councils handle more local concerns.
