English term or phrase: Perth & Kinross Council

Whether it is HM Revenue & Customs losing 25 million records on CDs, the Ministry of Defence losing details of 600,000 servicemen and women in a lap-top theft, or the recovery (from beside a bicycle shed) of a USB drive containing the personal details of {Perth & Kinross Council} workers, cases of data loss appear with uncomfortable regularity.

Chinese translation:柏斯和金洛斯地方政府

Explanation:
council一词，除了有地方议会{官方翻译}之外，也通常被引申用作直接受命于该议会的地方政府{council government}，地方议会由公开选举产生，议会所议决的一切政策，都是由council government执行，在当地人民日常生活中，通常都会把{council}和{council government}混在一起谈，不分彼此。在地方政府行政机关上班的员工，由地方政府任聘，统称{council workers}。

英国的地区政府是没有什么{地區行政委員會}的，地区政府由选举产生，推选出来的是地区议员{Local Councillors}，议会任命一名首席执行官{Chief Executive Officer}，直接负责引导地方政府确实地把议会内的决议执行。

维基网内的介绍： Councillors cannot do the work of the council themselves, and so are responsible for appointment and oversight of officers, who are delegated to perform most tasks. Local authorities nowadays have to appoint a "Chief Executive Officer", with overall responsibility for council employees, and who operates in conjunction with department heads.
