With the general election looming, we hear from councillors who’ve been out on the doorstep. Cllr Abi Brown, Leader of Stoke-on-Trent, and Cllr Michael Payne, Deputy Leader of Gedling and Chair of LGiU, tell us what this election could mean for local government, what should be prioritised by the new Government and how councils can help tackle un-democratic behaviour.
Plus the highlights from our recent member-only content, including our General Election bundle and manifesto briefings.
Hosted by Andrew Walker with interviews by @Ingrid Koehler. Tweet us @LGiU.
