Lab12: National Association of Local Councils reception

This is from Monday evening as well. Guest speaker, Shadow Secretary of State, Hilary Benn MP is always good value. I also wanted to go to the National Association of Local Councils reception to find out more about Parish Councils.

We have a Newham Compass meeting on 9th October on the new parish council being set up in Westminster. I asked a question about the suitability of parish councils in large cities such as London and was assured that it can (and does) work perfectly well.
