Politics is at the heart of local government; it's what connects councils to their communities. One area of the Leadership Centre's work – the unique Civic Pride programme is designed to encourage confident, capable and visionary local political leaders, reinvigorating the local political scene and improving the lives of the communities they serve. Place shaping puts politics centre stage. This means that politics and the distinct political values of the different parties have never been so important. We are working closely with all four political groups to help them identify their distinctive political contribution to shaping place. Our interest in leadership is not in leadership per se but in creating the change that results in better lives for citizens.
