the GLC
/ðə ˌdʒiː el ˈsiː/
/ðə ˌdʒiː el ˈsiː/
the Greater London Council
- the local authority that was in control of Greater London from 1965 to 1983. In the 1980s Margaret Thatcher found the GLC and its leader, Ken Livingstone, too left-wing, and changed the system of local government so that each borough was responsible for itself. No single authority was then responsible for the whole of Greater London until the election of the London Assembly in 2000.
1965年至1983年控制大伦敦的地方政府。在1980年代，撒切尔夫人（Margaret Thatcher）发现了GLC及其领导人肯·利文斯通（Ken Livingstone）左翼，并改变了地方政府的体制，使每个自治市镇对自己负责。在2000年伦敦议会选举之前，没有哪个机构可以对整个大伦敦负责。
