As you may be aware, the start of the BBC One series The Casual Vacancy prompted NALC to issue a media release, commenting on the portrayal of parish councils in the programme – and to give a broader perspective of the sector and its work.
NALC has also shared an account of parish life by Emma Kane, chairman of Hook Norton Parish Council, which was published in response to The Casual Vacancy, in last Friday’s Telegraph online.
With elections coming up this is an opportunity to use the programme to highlight the important work your council does for its community. Parish councils are changing despite the continued Vicar of Dibley image. This is a rare opportunity to write to your local paper or even better, blog, post on Facebook and Tweet, about the lively stuff that your council does in response to the needs of everyone in the community.
