Discretionary services
Plain English definition
From:
Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster
Services that your council may offer that it doesn't have to provide by law. These are also known as 'non-statutory services'. (Services that the law says councils have to provide are called 'statutory services'.) Examples of discretionary services include leisure centres, libraries and lunch clubs.
