Have you ever wondered about the role of your local councillor? Do you know what they do or what skills they need to perform their duties effectively?

This event aims to demystify the vital role of local councillors in the community and highlight the crucial skillset they require. Join us to hear from experts in the field who have become brilliant local councillors at various local government levels.

Whether you live in a parished or un-parished area, this event will provide a valuable opportunity to learn about the work and role of local councillors in your community. We will explore how councillors can make a difference in the lives of residents, the challenges they face, and the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.

A panel of experts will share their insights, experiences, and advice. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussions, gaining a deeper understanding of the vital contribution that local councillors make to your community.

NB: Councillors re-elected at the 4 May 2023 local (parish and town) council elections will find this event a very useful refresher update, and councillors newly elected on May 2023 will find this online event a very helpful welcome event to the sector.

Speakers: Cllr Michaella Biscomb, vice-chair of Kippax Parish Council, Cllr James Jamieson, chair of the Local Government Association and Cllr Jeremy Richardson of Cold Norton Parish Council
