peer agreement (net): +4+/- gemeente Explanation: Depending on the type of text, you could translate it as 'de gemeente Blaenau Gwent'. In a very formal text, it might be more appropriate to leave the English, possibly with a note explaining the status of a 'county borough council'. The term 'county borough council' is just one of the variety of names given to the unitary authorities in England, Scotland and Wales. A unitary authority is the most local level of government in the UK. The name 'unitary authority' comes from the last local government reform in the 1990s and refers to the fact that the authority has the powers and responsibilities previously divided between the county council and the local (district) council. The term 'county borough' only has historical meaning. -> "In Wales the terms County Council or County Borough Council are titles of honour referring to the status which areas had before the 1973 re-organisations. They are all actully Unitary Authorities." http://www.gwydir.demon.co.uk/uklocalgov/structure.htm |
