So, you want to work in Local Government …

Wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry, but on balance cried, especially over the bits about “what councils do” (the FULL list from the brochure is shown below)!

People who work for councils:

teach our children

protect vulnerable people

support and promote local businesses and jobs

ensure we are treated well and not over-charged by shops and restaurants

put out fires

make our neighbourhoods safer and more pleasant to live in

run our parks, leisure centres and libraries

help to keep us and the community healthy.”

So now you know!
