The Local Government (Organisations and Standards) Bill sets out a range of new roles and responsibilities for council members. Recognising how local government can only work with effective councillors carrying out their responsibilities, this pamphlet explores the ways in which members need to develop their scrutiny, representation and executive skills and examines the support they need.
