"Local government is basically 78 governments" - Throwback to Ep 7 with Mike Reid
Introducing Mike Reid
Today is our fourth of our series of Throwback episodes, and this one takes us way back to Ep 7!
The perfect bite-sized episode for easy listening - Mike Reid discusses the unique diversity emerging in local government now, and how there is so much space to enable even more community-led decisions and consultations.
Mike Reid leads an incredibly powerful project with Local Government NZ, the Localism Project. Reinvigorating local democracy is at the heart of the Localism Project, by supporting local councils and communities to make decisions that affect them.
In today’s episode you’ll learn about:
The positive changes in council diversity over the last few decades (which may surprise you).
How important it is to use the right language when consulting with communities and councils.
Why it's important to allow space for more community-led decisions and consultations.
