Some really good ideas to improve local (parish and town) councils and promote civility and respect at today’s workshop with @SLCCnews colleagues, monitoring officers, finance leads, civil servants and many others. Thanks to all for making the day a success. @NALC

💷 @NALC has been lobbying for it, and now the government has confirmed that the Community Ownership Fund has been extended to allow applications from local (parish and town) councils for the first time.

Following this mornings meeting, we can see the biggest groups have changed. Independent group has successfully grown in number yet again! As we work inclusively to represent all members, the LGA will remain a powerful force for good.

March of the Mummies: thousands to turn out in push for UK childcare reform https://t.co/LHKGgERLly

[Justin Griggs @JustinGriggs]

Law change also needed to allow mums/carers among England’s 100k parish/town cllrs help w/ childcare costs to attend meetings. Rest of #localgov can including Wales. Inequitable & barrier to getting more people including mums involved in their community. @GenevaAbdul #MakeAChange

Good to see so many political parties, think tanks and the general public taking a stronger interest in the first tier of local government! @nalc 10000 local councils and 100000 local councillors have huge potential to engage with residents and improve their communities

Give Councils the choice to decide how they run their meetings depending on local circumstances. They know best.
