Giving your Council back to you –

Labour’s pledges on local democracy

It’s right and fair that local people have a say in running their public services.

Labour locally would give your Council back to you by:

•  making sure you have the right to get answers to the questions you’re entitled to raise at Council meetings;
• scrapping the current system which gives a handful of senior councillors the power to take all the important decisions;
• giving all 50 of your councillors a bigger role.
