Editing London boroughs (section)

===Greater London Council===
Between 1965 and 1986 the boroughs were part of a two-tier system of government and shared power with the [[Greater London Council]] (GLC). The split of powers and functions meant that the Greater London Council was responsible for "wide area" services such as fire, ambulance, flood prevention, and refuse disposal; with the London borough councils responsible for "personal" services such as social care, libraries, cemeteries and refuse collection. Several London borough councils and the GLC were involved in the [[rate-capping rebellion]] of 1985. On 1 April 1986 the GLC was abolished and the borough councils gained responsibility for some services that had been provided by the Greater London Council, such as [[Waste disposal authorities in London|waste disposal]]. The [[Inner London Education Authority]] continued to exist as an {{Lang|la|ad hoc}} authority. In 1990 it was abolished and the Inner London borough councils also became local education authorities.
