Arnold-Baker on Local Council Administration has long been established as the guide to this specialist field of local government law. Among local councilors it is often referred to as 'the bible'. It is a complete statement of the law relating to parish and community councils through an extensive, though succinct, narrative accompanied by relevant statutory materials. It covers everything from parish and manorial history to the laws, both old and new, now governing local councils. All aspects are explored in a user-friendly style. It also includes appendices of relevant statutes and statutory instruments.
