It is a unitary authority, having the powers of a non-metropolitan county and district council combined. As such, it is administratively separate from the rest of Wiltshire. It was formed in 1997, replacing Thamesdown Borough Council. Powers and functionsThe local authority derives its powers and functions from the Local Government Act 1972 and subsequent legislation. For the purposes of local government, Swindon Borough is a non-metropolitan area of England. As a unitary authority, Swindon Borough Council has the powers and functions of both a non-metropolitan county and district council combined. In its capacity as a district council it is a billing authority collecting Council Tax and business rates, it processes local planning applications, it is responsible for housing, waste collection and environmental health. In its capacity as a county council it is a local education authority, responsible for social services, libraries and waste disposal. OperationsThe council is responsible for numerous operations in Swindon. These include schools, libraries, waste disposal and road maintenance. Since 2010, many schools in the area have become academies, with the council losing control. It was also the owner of Swindon's main bus operator, Thamesdown Transport, until 2017 when it sold them to the Go-Ahead Group due to issues with funding.[1] Maintenance services are typically contracted to Swindon Commercial Services (SCS), who work in partnership with the council.[2] Notes{{notelist}}References1. ^{{cite news| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-38852750 | work=BBC News | title=Swindon council sells loss-making Thamesdown Transport bus firm | date=3 February 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.swindon.gov.uk/info/20017/business_and_investment/59/tenders_and_contract_opportunities | title=Tenders and contract opportunities | accessdate=9 February 2017| publisher=Swindon Borough Council | author=Swindon Borough Council}} External links
