"I think there are a considerable number of them who have got into this without realising what it would entail"

Vanessa - I am sure that you are right. I was elected at a By-Election and received little or no formal induction and without a helping hand from Cllrs Paul Lynch and Adrian Lee I could have sunk without trace.

There are now courses run by Hounslow Council before each local authority election for all candidates - Labour candidates were notable by their absence in 2014. Too busy campaigning I was told (tongue in cheek) by an old hand.

Mary Harpley has instituted, with all Party approval, a relatively intensive induction scheme for new (and re-elected councillors). There is also an ongoing programme of briefings and training for all Councillors covering all key aspects of the council's business.

Several Committees have had their sizes reduced because even with 47 (48?) members Labour could not find suitably qualified and keen members to attend evening meetings. The Audit Committee (which has a vital governance oversight role) has been inquorate on more than one occasion because councillors could not make the meetings.

This is the kind of technical nuts and bolts stuff that is not usually shared with Forum Members but the attendance record of every elected member is on the Council website for those who care to look.

There is of course much more to be being a Councillor than attending meetings but it helps .....
