SLCC has submitted its response to Senedd Cymru’s (Welsh Parliament) Local Government and Housing Committee’s consultation looking into the role, governance, and accountability of town and community councils.

The terms of reference for their inquiry was as follows:

• The role and value of community and town councils in Wales
• Whether the sector is fit for purpose in an evolving local government landscape
• Governance and scrutiny arrangements and its impact on accountability and transparency
• Scope of digital and new technology to improve decision-making, service provision and participation in local democratic processes
• How new powers and responsibilities for this tier of government are utilised to support communities

Thank you to all who contributed to SLCC’s response, which you can read here.
