Scottish Local Government is responsible for providing essential services and facilities to communities across Scotland. It operates through various councils, including local councils, unitary authorities, and regional councils, which are elected by residents. These councils manage services such as education, housing, transportation, and social care. Each council has a degree of autonomy, allowing them to make decisions that best suit their local areas. The structure of local government in Scotland is designed to ensure that citizens have a voice in how their communities are run, promoting local democracy and accountability.
