I should also add borough council which is the same as a district for all purposes.
Yeah, as long as you understand that some counties are tiered - County Council and below them, several distrcit/brough councils.
Others re unitary - so there is just one uber council (see Wales).
London = a law onto itself, go look up if you plan to work there (it swallows up about 1/2 the NMTs each year)
