Making the Most of Your Local Council
Local Authorities are involved with people from cradle to grave but how much do you know about your councils' responsibilities, and the services they provide: and how can you make the best use of them? For instance, how can you find out what your rates are spent on? What say have you in choosing your child's school? How can you get a council house? Who's responsible for mending pot-holes in the road? What help can you get for the elderly? Brenda Borrett , Conservative councillor on Nottingham County Council; and John Reynolds. Labour councillor on Cardiff City Council, are in the studio to answer your questions.
