Local Government
For local government purposes, the two villages jointly elect the Buxton with Lammas Parish Council, and both fall within the area covered by Broadland District Council and Norfolk County Council. Lammas and Buxton together have a population of 1,695. Although Lammas is the smaller of the two places, it is historically a parish in its own right, and for centuries had its own Rector. Lammas has been united with the neighbouring hamlet of Little Hautbois since the 15th century. The village is a part of the Buxton Division of the district of Broadland, and the Aylsham Division of the County Council.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or government:
“The country is fed up with children and their problems. For the first time in history, the differences in outlook between people raising children and those who are not are beginning to assume some political significance. This difference is already a part of the conflicts in local school politics. It may spread to other levels of government. Society has less time for the concerns of those who raise the young or try to teach them.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
