This is a practical guide for local authorities who are now subject to regulations on how they conduct their public relations. It is aimed at public relations officers and chief executives, county clerks and solicitors especially in district councils which are unlikely to have a public relations department. It covers an important area of current interest in local government and is written by a team of specialists drawn from the Association of County Councils.
