Description

Councillors have a vital role to play if communities are to make the most of the opportunities offered by localism, and people from all walks of life should be encouraged to stand at local elections. Councillors are spending less time in council chambers and more time out and about in their communities. In future, they will increasingly need to be on the frontline, working with constituents and external organisations such as GPs, schools, police, local businesses and voluntary organisations to ensure their communities make the most of all the opportunities available to them. The Committee also found that both local and central government had to devolve power and resources to support councillors. The Committee identifies three key practical barriers to people becoming and remaining councillors: Some people are put off by the time commitment involved; Employers do not always take a positive view of staff becoming councillors and may not give them the support or time off required; The levels of allowances paid to Councillors to cover their expenses as few councillors will vote themselves higher allowances even if there is a legitimate reason for doing so, because it provokes so much public controversy - councils should be given the power to transfer decisions about allowances to independent local bodies. The inquiry also raised questions about the support and training that councillors receive. Several innovative models for empowering councillors are also mentioned in the report, such as devolving budgets, giving councillors front line duties and an ability to respond rapidly to local concerns.
