The importance of local democracy
Local democracy is part of society. It helps provide a voice for local people and provides local communities with a focal point for the services they receive. Services such as bin collections, planning, housing and leisure are all provided by your local district council.
But plans have been discussed at a county level to create a unitary authority which could impact upon the services you receive. We went out on the streets of Bolsover District to ask what local residents, businesses and councillors thought of the idea.
