The purpose of this directory is to provide information for the authorities, solicitors and many others whose work brings them in contact with local authorities. The names of senior officers are included along with address and telephone/fax details.

This book continues to provide vital information for the authorities, solicitors and the many others whose work brings them into contact with local authorities. Full details of all the new authorities are given, together with cross-referencing to enable the user to identify which new authorities have taken over from those that have been disbanded. Entries are designed for ease of finding the department and person with responsibility for a specific function. The book lists the parish councils, parish meetings and town councils within each authority's area, and includes a substantial Gazetteer of nearly 20,000 places, showing the authorities within which each falls. This makes the book particularly useful for electoral registration purposes.
