Local Authority is a generic term used to cover London Boroughs, Metropolitan Districts, Non-Metropolitan Districts, and Unitary Authorities in England; Unitary Authorities in Wales; Council Areas in Scotland; and Local Government Districts in Northern Ireland.
The Local Authorities area list contains 404 areas of the following constituent geographies:
Please visit ONS Beginner's Guide to UK Geography for more info.
The boundaries are available as either extent of the realm (usually this is the Mean Low Water mark but in some cases boundaries extend beyond this to include off shore islands) or
clipped to the coastline (Mean High Water mark).

Official statistics are produced impartially and free from political influence.
The local authority interactive tool (LAIT) is an app that presents information in interactive tables and charts, along with local authorities’ rank positions in England and against statistical neighbours.
It includes local authority, regional and national data on:
The ‘Children’s services statistical neighbour benchmarking tool’ allows you to select a local authority and display its ‘closest statistical neighbours’ (local authorities with similar characteristics). The tool has been reviewed and rebuilt to include updated socio-economic variables from the 2021 census. More information is available in the associated update note and technical report.

These statistics provide the most reliable and consistent breakdown of CO2 emissions across the country, using nationally available data sets going back to 2005.
The main data sources are the UK National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory and the BEIS National Statistics of energy consumption for local authority areas. All emissions included in the national inventory are covered, except aviation, shipping and military transport, for which there is no obvious basis for allocation to local areas.
Publications:
In addition, http://naei.defra.gov.uk/data/local-authority-co2-map" class="govuk-link">interactive local authority level emissions maps are published on the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI) website on behalf of BEIS. Users can zoom in to any UK local authority, see the emissions for the area and identify the significant point sources, such as iron and steel plants. The data can be filtered by sector, and to see how emissions have changed across the time series.
https://naei.beis.gov.uk/reports/reports?report_id=999" class="govuk-link">Air pollution data are also available on a local authority basis which looks at a number of gases that cause air pollution. Carbon dioxide which is presented in the emissions reports above is also considered an air pollutant. A number of activities contribute to both air pollutant and carbon dioxide emissions. Other activities that contribute to carbon dioxide emissions do not contribute to air pollutant emissions and vice versa.

These are digital boundaries for the system of districts essentially created by the 1894 Local Government Act and continuing to exist until 1974. England and Wales were divided into County Boroughs, Municipal Boroughs, Urban Districts and Rural Districts. These generally functioned as sub-divisions of Administrative Counties with powers varying according to status, but County Boroughs were large cities with full independence from their County. The County of London was divided into Metropolitan Boroughs, plus the City of London which had the unique status of County Corporate. This file represents the system as it was used to report the 1911 Census of Population. To distinguish between identical place names with different administrative geographies, an Administrative County Boundaries layer may be used to add County name attributes to this layer.
