Blackwell City Council

The Blackwell City council is the top-tier local government authority of Easthallow. Its headquarters are based in the city of Easthallow. The City council meets on the eighth of every month. Special council meetings are also held on occasional basis. These sessions are presided over by the council chair. Residents who wish to participate in the meetings may submit a question to elected officials.

History
In 1423 the council was formed of Blackwell, Ashburn, Miller and Valencia families, who were all landowners. In 1588, the council was expanded welcoming the Alinac, Lloyd, Orsini, and Mills families. In 1835, the Bancroft's replaced the Mills who were excused of their duties due to political controversy. Many of these positions have stayed in these families over the years, and often family members are prepped to take over their family seat on the council when the current seat holder steps down.

The Chairmen of the council always have been the head of the Blackwell family. This has not changed since the forming of the council in 1423. As of today, there still have been no attempts to take this seat from the Blackwell family.

Politics
Easthallow City Council is currently (since November 2013) run by a Liberal Administration. It has traditionally been known as a liberal stronghold, being run by them from 1800's and onward.

Most members now are elected to the council, especially in more recent years due to the increase in population since the 2010s. There are still notable families with permanent seats on the council, and as of the three most recent elections, have been voted by the community to keep these seats.

Economy and business
The council spends an average of £723k a month with suppliers.

Education
The council is in charge of all Nursery, Primary and Secondary schools. There is currently 1 nursery, 1 primary school, and 1 secondary school. There is currently 1 university being built, set to open in the next 2-3 years.

The primary school curriculum is set by the government. The secondary school curriculum is set by the government. There are compulsory subjects which are needed to be followed in Easthallow and England. In Year 9 (sometimes Year 8), children are required to pick their GCSE options for the fore-coming year. In England, a student must take at least two optional choices.

In 2010, it was found that Easthallow education system was above average. The teachers often go above and beyond to help the students, at the insistence of the direction which results in minimal dropout rates. Easthallow students often get into their university of choice due to their excellent average.

The council offers a good sum to their education due to the town being small, thus having only three education establishments to take care of.

Health and Social Care
The council is in charge of the Blackwell University Hospital, in which the cabinet of public health operates. The hospital is kept up to date on every aspect due to its founding by the Blackwell family itself. Though the city is small, it could easily be said that it is one of the best hospitals in the area, and residents of Easthallow can rest assured that they are getting the absolute best care possible.

Conservation
Blackwell City Council is offered grant aid for landscape conservation. The forests around the town have been protected since 2014, after another accident that lead to the deaths of many workers. Many historic buildings in the town are protected by the Easthallow Historic Buildings Trust, established in 1900, which is under the guidance of the city council.
