"The Cabinet has led the way with a series of town centre surgeries in the run-up to Local Democracy Week, and it has been extremely helpful to talk to local people in such an informal setting. Hopefully these member roadshows will be the first of many, making it easier for residents to raise issues of concern with the people they elected to represent them. That said, we are always on the end of the phone if anyone needs to talk to us." assures Cllr Sarah Content, Lib Dem leader of West Wiltshire District Council.
