Administrative / Biographical History
The London County Council (LCC) was created in 1889 as a result of the 1888 Local Government Act. The LCC was the first metropolitan-wide form of general local government. Elections were held in January 1889 and the Progressive Party, won seventy of the 118 seats. The new council met under the chairmanship of the Earl of Rosebery (1847-1929). Members of the ruling group included Sidney Webb (1859-1947), who became chairman of the Technical Instruction Committee, Will Crooks (1852-1921), chairman of Public Control Committee, John Benn (1850-1922), John Burns (1858-1943) and Ben Tillett (1860-1943). Influenced by the radical members the LCC took a leading role in school reform and town planning.
