To use the powers and duties tool you need to be signed in as a member of an organisation subscribed to the LG Inform Plus programme.

The tool gives guidance on what current legislation gives English and Welsh councils the power to do and what it requires them to do in law. The guidance is put together by Kent County Council's Legal Services team in partnership with the LG Inform Plus team.

Subscriptions to the LG Inform Plus programme help fund maintenance of the guidance and the standard lists. Your organisation may already be subscribed. If so, just sign in to access powers and duties guidance. If not, see the subscription benefits page, which tells you how to subscribe.
