...eg one of my least favourite buildings (and I hope it relinquishes its #localgov functions because it's 'orrible), South Cambridgeshire Hall with woefully-poor public transport access and not easy for residents in Cambourne to access. One of the worst examples of local urban design in recent yrs

The good old days of decorative #Localgov buildings 😁 See also Tristram Hunt's Building Jerusalem - the rise and fall of the Victorian City, where old architecture reflects the place where important local decisions were made, vs modern #Localgov buildings - mainly admin, as policy is made in London.

...eg the @londonassembly.bsky.social could have much wider and far greater tax-raising powers given the ***huge*** inequalities in the capital - and strengthen #localgov democratic relationships with residents? (And diverting central funding for the rest of the UK?) @carolinerussell.bsky.social

There's a wider issue beyond what @carolinerussell.bsky.social raises - which is about underfunded #Localgov. What are the more efficient and more effective ways of funding our councils without needing lots of ring-fenced funding pots (that inevitably have their own separate reporting mechanisms)?

Former FCM president preparing for life beyond council - Municipal World After 29 years on Halton Hills council, former FCM president Clark Somerville is stepping away from elected life as he prepares for a semi‑retired future.

Enjoyed chatting with Clark as someone with nearly three decades of #LocalGov experience. His insights into the #municipal sector are definitely shaped by not only his passion for #community, but the work he accomplished with @fcm.ca as well. #CDNMuni
