Last Thursday I attended a training day at The LGiU( Local Government information Unit) in London. The course focussed on The Localism Bill and the new skills that will be required by councillors . It focussed on Councillors as Community Leaders bringing together charities, community leaders and residents in order to deal with the issues that really effect that community.
After attending the course I spoke to members of Shardlow and Great Wilne about what is important to them in regard to their relationship with District and County Councillors and they said communication is they key.
