When I put myself forward to stand as a councillor just over 4 years ago, I had no idea what it would really entail. In fact I had very little idea what a local district council actually did apart from clearly seeing it/them involved with planning (but how?) and with waste collection and recycling (and when was it them and when was it county?).
It has been a learning journey!
It has been all these things sometimes….: tedious, riveting, embarassing, confusing, fascinating, frustrating, a source of pride, a source of annoyance (particularly at the way we have to spend so much of our time dancing to a Central Govt led tune… bring on the Sustainable Communities bill purlease!
I shall use this section to try to give anyone who might be moderatly interested a degree of my personal insight….. and please do send me your questions – One of my ambitions is to see more of us take a greater interest in what all this money collected in tax is actually doing!
