New byelaw rules suggested for councils
The government has announced plans to introduce new legislation targeting those working for local authorities, it has been revealed.
In proposals unveiled by the Department of Communities and Local Government it was revealed that local councils may have the power to create and sanction byelaws - which are aimed at improving community safety - without necessarily having to get approval from Whitehall.
Such news could be of interest to those working for public sector bodies who wish to improve the skills framework of their organisation.
Hazel Blears, communities secretary, said: "For the first time councils could now be able to set, sign and now sanction local laws without central government approval."
She went on to claim that this will make it easier for local authorities to improve the wellbeing of their community, cut down on red tape and confront problems in their area.
Earlier this month it was revealed that the nine new unitary authorities which will be set up next year will have complete control over setting up new parish councils.
