Summary

This is the final report of the independent Councillors Commission, established in February 2007 to develop recommendations to encourage a more diverse range of people to become councillors so that communities are better represented. The Commission's remit has been to make recommendations regarding the incentives and barriers:

  • Encouraging people who are able, qualified and representative to be candidates to serve as councillors.
  • Retaining and developing them once they are elected (or appointed under the Local Government Act 2000).
  • Enabling them to secure public interest and recognition for the work they carry out for their communities.
