P-04-482 Public noticeboards across Wales notifying the public of who all their political representatives are
P-04-482 Public noticeboards across Wales notifying the public of who all their political representatives are
We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh
Government to develop a national system of placing large public notice boards
(of 5x4 foot or so as an example) across all the local authorities and
electoral wards of Wales, clearly notifying everyone who their local
Councillor/s and AM’s are, together with clear information on how, where and
when all of these can all be contacted and met and with regular and updated
information on when and where all local council meetings are held.
There is a real need for people to be clearly notified of who their political
representatives are at all levels, with clear well laid out informative notice
boards centrally placed in all the local authorities and electoral wards of
Wales. Consideration could also be given for surgery hours and locations, and
possibly council meetings, to be standardised around Wales (e.g. 1-3pm of every
first Saturday of the month at local community centres all across Wales as a
generic example) so that people can interact and connect with their
representatives more effectively. This will all encourage the citizens of Wales
to have better involvement in the democracy of their country and communities
