Local Government Committees
CLPs also elect representative to Local Government Committees (LGCs) which aim to get Labour Councillors elected and then oversee the work of Labour Councillors on a specific principal local authority. Where the boundaries of a local authority are the same as those used for a parliamentary constituency the GC will also assume the role of LGC.
In many areas the LGC is referred to by the older title of District Labour Party (DLP) where it is overseeing a district council and County Labour Party where it oversees the work of a shire county council.

Famous quotes containing the words local, government and/or committees:
“To see ourselves as others see us can be eye-opening. To see others as sharing a nature with ourselves is the merest decency. But it is from the far more difficult achievement of seeing ourselves amongst others, as a local example of the forms human life has locally taken, a case among cases, a world among worlds, that the largeness of mind, without which objectivity is self- congratulation and tolerance a sham, comes.”
—Clifford Geertz (b. 1926)
“The root of the problem is not so much that our people have lost confidence in government, but that government has demonstrated time and again its lack of confidence in the people.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“... in the minds of search committees there is the lingering question: Can she manage the football coach?”
—Donna E. Shalala (b. 1941)
