Local government is only as vibrant, effective and relevant as the people elected to run it. We are encouraging councils to support ‘Be a councillor’ with a local campaign.

Is it the state of the local park, the need for more activities for young people, improving services for older people, making the roads safer or ensuring that local businesses can thrive?
Whatever needs changing in your neighbourhood, you could be just the person to change it by becoming a local councillor. No other role gives you a chance to make such a huge difference to quality of life for people in your local area.

If you care about the area that you live or work in you could be a councillor.
