"Council" in a UK town means local government, really.

You pay council tax which in theory pays for roads, refuse collection, streetlighting, schools and for the police to go around and do some arresting. Public owned housing is known as "council housing." And local elections are sometimes known as "council" elections.

Why you ask?
