A Beacon Council is a local authority in England which has been recognised for its excellence and innovation.[1] The scheme attempts to disseminate best practice in local government. Beacon Councils are given greater autonomy from central government. The word beaconicity, describing the attributes of a Beacon Council, was among the 200 terms condemned by the Local Government Association in 2009. [2]
