Restoring trust in public institutions is crucial for society. It relies on three principles: - Accountability involves setting clear rules for public officials and making sure they follow them, with clear consequences if they don't. - Transparency means not just sharing information, but making sure it is clear and useful. - Engagement involves including the community in policy-making, giving citizens a real voice. Implementing these principles can enhance community resilience and revitalize public service. Read more about community resilience here: https://lnkd.in/e3B2gQud

Local Government Director - Housing, Community Safety, Public Protection, Leisure, Health, Emergency Planning & Safeguarding
I have had the privilege to work in local government for almost 25 years. Having changed roles recently and moving to a London borough I have been reflecting on why local government matters more than ever. When we think about what makes a community thrive, local government plays a central role. It’s not just about policies and programs—it’s about building strong foundations for people to live, work, and grow together. Local government touches nearly every part of our daily lives from clean and safe streets, parks, libraries, and public spaces where neighbours connect, supporting small businesses and local economies, providing services like public transportation, and affordable housing. But beyond the services, local government fosters a sense of belonging. Whether it’s by organising community events, creating opportunities for public input, or responding to residents’ needs, it’s about showing that every voice matters. I’ve seen firsthand how these efforts bring people together, solve problems, and create lasting impact. It’s a reminder that when local government works well, communities can truly flourish. To all the local government leaders, officers, and community advocates out there—thank you for everything you do. Your work doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves, but it truly makes a difference. Let’s keep finding ways to support and uplift each other, because stronger communities start with us.
