The Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 changed the structure of local government in Scotland. This book covers not only government reorganisation - the new areas and authorities; administration and finance - but also changes in the structure of water and sewerage services and the creation of the new office of Principal Reporter to head the Scottish Children's Reporter Administration.This third edition of Local Government in Scotland has been updated to take account of the changes made by the 1994 Act as well as other related development in the areas of social work; education; housing; planning; transportation; and tourism and economic development. It provides a clear and always readable account of the reorganisation and system of local government in Scotland.
