So firstly we should look at the part local and national government has played . It was until the last election in may that local authority/government power was depleted by the Conservative government . Measures like the “Local government planning and Land act - 1980 “.

This act replaced central government funding for local needs with a block grant . This block grant was based on national government assessment of the relevant authorities needs .

These grants were strictly enforced . If a local; authority overspent , there was penalties imposed . This may of forced cuts , or re-racting of leisure funds . Some local council and authorities attempted to raise capital by other means , for instance rate increases . The instigation of the local government finance act 1982 prevented this , or penalized local authorities even more . An example of one of this was urban labour/liberal controlled Brent council .

Later in the eighties resistance from councils in Liverpool and Lambeth resulted in actual surcha

The usual political parties partake in these elections , hopefully promoting these type of local government .

British national parks differ from ones in the rest of the world , because they are not under total public ownership . They are also not managed by the government . It was thought at the time that the state ownership was not a realistic option .

As the population as a whole has had an increase in leisure time , and more people own cars.

Within each park , since local government changes in 1974 there is a national park authority . These authorities have either a committee or board with more specific powers , like using the services of the local government authority , or not . They can choose wether to appoint staff , and the purchase of land .
