Leaders/Chairmen?
I am a little confused whether these were the same thing. On Wikipedia it is stated that
Ronald Collet Norman was leader of the council from 1915-1918. However his obituary in
The Times states he was chairman from 1918-19- does anyone know whether the position of leader and chairman was considered the same?

They were not the same. The Chairman was a formal position which was analagous to the Mayor of a Borough, and the Chairman symbolically represented the council as well as being a figurehead. However the Chairman did not (certainly after the early years) have any political role. The Leader was, until 1934, an informal position which was equivalent to the political leader of the majority party on the LCC. R.C. Norman received the Chairmanship at the end of his Leadership, possibly as an honour, possibly to get him out of the way.

Development of article
Much needs to be done to improve this article - there is nothing on the reorganisation of 1899-1900, or the factors that led to the 1963 Act and the formation of the
GLC.

Such as the fact that it did not extend to cover areas east of the River Lee - West Ham and East Ham remained parts of Essex until 1965 — Preceding
