Local Democracy Week 2008 will take place from 13-19 October.
Hundreds of councils and thousands of schools up and down the country will be taking part – so make sure you’re involved too. Here’s how…
Organise a Local Democracy Campaign event – perhaps political speed dating, take your councillor to school day, local government careers day, or visit your council chamber. Read the LGA’s helpful ‘how to’ guides for more information.
Add an ‘I support local democracy’ banner to your own/your council’s/your school’s website. Read instructions on the Local Democracy Campaign website.
Get your local councillors online – read more on the Local Democracy Campaign website.
Persuade your council to get involved in the Local Democracy Campaign – read more about how to do it on the Local Democracy Campaign website.
You can read more information about what councils do in our ‘what is local government?’ section.
