GUIDANCE

It is important to recognise that duties are and powers are prescribed by law with different implications. The difference must be clear. The examples chosen must be powers and not duties. If possible suggest a range of powers related to the specific functions of a named council. Even the least active council employs an officer and pays for administrative materials. Provide the statutory reference and explain what it allows the council to do. Remember that s137 and the general power of competence/power of well-being cannot be included here.
