Do you know what your council does for you?
An information campaign to tell people about everything their council does for them is to be launched this week, in a bid to boost the reputation of town halls.
The ‘My Council’ campaign, being launched by the Local Government Association (LGA) at its Annual Conference in Bournemouth, will encourage councils, through a series of posters, to tell people about the vast range of services that their council tax pays for.
Sir Simon Milton, Chair of the LGA, said, “Most people just think that the council collects the bins and they haven’t the faintest clue of the vast range of services that town halls provide. From archaeology to zoology, from cradle to grave, councils provide over 800 services to improve people’s lives and help them get safe and sound through the day.”
