Councillors' Guide 2010-11

04 Aug 2010

The Local Government Improvement and Development's new edition of the 'Councillors' Guide' has been revised and updated to reflect the latest legislation and thinking concerning local government in England. It focuses principally on the needs of newly-elected councillors, although more experienced councillors will find it useful too.

The guide explores things new councillors need to know at the start of their careers in public life. It:

- discusses councillors' roles and responsibilities as ward representatives
- explains how councils work and how they are funded
- examines the various checks and balances that regulate councils and councillors
- stresses the importance of community leadership.
