🗳️It is not just the 7am to 10pm shift at the polling station and the subsequent election count all-nighter.
🗳️Work takes place year-round on maintaining the electoral roll. Since the general election was called they have been working flat out to ensure it's free and fair.

“As we get districts, counties, the voluntary sector, the NHS and other partners working together at a neighbourhood level, we can put resources together and get better outcomes.” Patricia Hewitt at #dcnconf2024

.@districtcouncil is one of 30 bodies to sign a letter warning the Govt its proposed Infrastructure Levy won't achieve the aims of increasing affordable housing & infrastructure. We think it will have the opposite effect & heap financial risk on councils.
