How Local Government Works

 

Local government affects almost every aspect of life, yet for many people it’s a mystery. Who makes decisions and how? How is it financed, and how is the money spent? What’s the difference between an elected mayor, a ceremonial mayor and a council leader? What do councillors do? What is the relationship between local and national government? What difference will central government’s localism agenda make?

This 2-hour workshop answers these and many other questions, and offers participants the chance to develop a much better understanding of how local government works.
