Who is responsible for public services in my constituency?

Overview

Throughout the UK, different bodies are responsible for different public services. You can use this tool to select a constituency, and then find out which public body handles each of the service responsibilities listed. 

In some parts of England, county councils and district councils are responsible for different public services within the same area. In other parts of England, and throughout Scotland and Wales, single councils, known as unitary authorities, have the responsibilities of both counties and districts. 

The tool also covers NHS bodies, combined authorities, Police and Crime Commissioners, fire and rescue authorities, and water and sewerage bodies. We have a  separate dashboard and map covering wards and parishes. 

On the second tab, you can view a map and zoom in down to street level to identify which parts of the constituency are covered by each public service body.

Notes, sources and further reading

The responsibilities data is based on House of Commons Library research. You can read more about local authority structures and responsibilities in England in our briefing paper. 

The tool does not include any information on parish councils or parish council responsibilities. You can read more about the responsibilities of parish councils in our briefing paper Parish and town councils: recent issues. 

More information on water and sewerage companies, including maps of their overlaps with constituencies, can be found on our page  Constituency information: Water companies.

Updates

The tool will be updated when changes to local authority and other boundaries come into force, for example as a result of the government’s plans to introduce unitary local government throughout England. Our separate briefing has a map of the proposed new local authority boundaries in England.
