answer text

Local authorities already have sufficient powers to charge and trade for discretionary services and are able to make these decisions themselves.The Local Government Act 2003 granted powers for local authorities to charge and trade for services that they have a power to provide but are not obliged or have a duty to provide. The power for local authorities to trade commercially is only exercisable through a company structure and like other bodies, local authorities are subject to and must abide by competition law.These powers were incorporated in the general power of competence provisions set out in the Localism Act 2011 and allow local authorities to do anything that individuals generally may do unless it is specifically prohibited in law.
