London County Council

Created in 1889 to replace the Metropolitan Board of Works, which was increasingly seen as corrupt.

Suitably qualified women had the franchise for the LCC (along with other bodies, such as the School Board for London)

In 1899 the parishes as electoral entities were replaced byboroughs: much research and discussion involved.

In 1904 the functions of the School Board for London were transferred to the LCC.

Replaced in 1965 by the Greater London Council (with a wider geographical remit).
