Prospect magazine has launched The Covert Councillor, a new column offering an insider's view of English local government. Written anonymously by an elected member of a local authority, this column sheds light on the realities, challenges, and triumphs within local councils across England, added the publisher.
Each month, Prospect magazine says The Covert Councillor will dive deep into the workings of local councils, exploring the issues that matter most to communities. From housing and public health to budget cuts and infrastructure, the column will highlight what councils are doing well and where they fall short, through original reporting and Freedom of Information data. With candid insights and real-life examples, The Covert Councillor reveals the often unseen decisions and dilemmas that shape local governance, the publisher continued.
Prospect magazine says, with local government under pressure, The Covert Councillor is for anyone who wants to understand what’s really going on. Whether you’re a policy maker, a concerned citizen, or someone with an interest in public service, this column provides the context and detail you need to stay informed.
