Northern Ireland is divided into eleven districts for local government purposes. In Northern Ireland local councils have no responsibility for education, road building or housing (though they do nominate members to the advisory [[Northern Ireland Housing Council]]). Their functions include [[Recycling in Northern Ireland|waste and recycling services]], leisure and community services, building control and local economic and cultural development. Since their reorganisation in 2015 councils in Northern Ireland have also taken on responsibility for planning functions. The collection of [[rates (tax)|rates]] is handled by the [[Land and Property Services]] agency.
