This paper deals with the constitutional and legal nature of the concept «local residents’ will», its detection mechanisms and implementation of the representative body of local self-government in its decisions. The analyzed issues are acute because of the negative impact of new legislation in the sphere of local self-government on the quality of the performance of local council’s representative functions. In the research a significant body of normative legal acts and the judicial practice are considered. In the conclusion the author gives negative assessment to some trends of the legal regulation established in the sphere of local self-government that have proliferated in the recent years. Some proposals for improving the regulatory and legal framework are put forward.
