BEGINS the event blurb: “Scottish local government is at the heart of ensuring everyone in our communities can ‘live well, locally’. It’s what councils do; every day, they work hard to create the conditions to make this possible in villages, towns and cities, in rural areas and islands.
“During the COVID-19 response, councils demonstrated local leadership, using their knowledge and unique insight to deliver local solutions – from the most remote areas of the country to the centre of our cities. COVID-19 has changed peoples lives forever and for many, their local environment now matters more than ever.”
