The 2023 elections are mostly taking place in rural areas where the Conservatives still hold many councils. They are defending more than 3,300 seats. Other services in these areas such as highways, schools, social and care services are managed by county councils which are elected at a different time. They are responsible for all of the services controlled by the council from leisure services to social care, and appoint members of the cabinet who each have responsibility for specific council services.In Northern Ireland there is only one layer of local government. Councils here have responsibility for services such as bin collections, planning, street cleaning, sport and leisure centres, parks and open spaces.
