Edwin Savory Herbert, Baron Tangley Kt. KBE (29 June 1899 – 5 June 1973) was a British lawyer and mountaineer. Knighted in 1943, Herbert was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) in the 1956 Birthday Honours. He was created Baron Tangley, ''of Blackheath in the County of Surrey'' on 22 January 1964. This was in recognition of this work preparing the review of the local government of the Greater London area. The area that was to become what is now known as Greater London was controlled by the London, Surrey, Essex, Kent and Middlesex County Councils and a number of County Boroughs. The result was that the London and Middlesex County Councils and County Boroughs disappeared, and the areas covered by Essex and Surrey were reduced. The Greater London Council was established as the strategic authority, with broad town planning and transport powers; below it were the City of London, basically covering the area it had always controlled, and thirty two new London Boroughs. They provided local town planning powers, local highways and inter alia social and housing powers. The GLC took over running the council housing that the London County Council had controlled. ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edwin Herbert, Baron Tangley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
