The LGA's Be a Councillor campaign aims at increasing the pool of talent from which councillors are elected – a key task for local government.
Local government needs different kinds of people willing to stand for election so that parties get a choice of quality candidates: councillors who are capable, vibrant, energetic and engaged, with a commitment to local people and a passion for change.
