| Annotation | Wherever an older person from a black and minority ethnic (BME) background lives, his or her life as a citizen is affected in many ways by the local council. This study focuses on this relationship, but based only on councils' perceptions and self-reports in 128 (out of 433) completed questionnaires. The extent to which local authorities identify with BME older people and provide services according to other priorities is examined. The perspectives of geographically and demographically different local authorities (e.g. London, Wales, English district councils) are highlighted. A summary of the survey findings is also available.
