(the) GLC
the GLC [the GLC]
(in full 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.
