At a time of unprecedented pressure on local government, co-operative councillors across Scotland are pioneering a new approach that puts people before privatisation or profit.
It’s an approach inspired by co-operative values, with local authorities, service users, and community organisations working in partnership.
One in which local people at the heart of decision-making, and in which services are responsive to the specific needs of the community they serve.
This free event looks at the role of councillors and how to be selected as a Labour & Co-operative councillor candidate.
Speakers include Cllr Andrew Burns, Leader of City of Edinburgh Council, Cllr Frank McAveety, Leader of Glasgow City Council, & Cllr Rita Miller, Vice-Chair of the Scottish Co-operative Party.
