Local Democracy

Elected members are at the heart of the debate on improving public services.  At a time when local government has a new opportunity to develop an effective community leadership role how can we ensure that it also recruits and retains a more diverse range of people to become local councillors - both to represent their communities and become the next generation of political leaders.

 

The events held under the theme of local democracy aim to raise awareness and explore how councils and political parties can establish effective member development and support systems.
