Morley and Outwood MP Andrea Jenkyns is to chair the All Party Parliamentary Group on Local Democracy.
The APPG exists to promote the virtues of existing forms of first tier local authorities; to inform policy making and initiatives affecting first tier local authorities; and to stimulate debate on models of community governance.
Andrea said "Pleased to have been asked to chair the All Parliamentary Group on Local Democracy which supports town and parish councils. Having a great Town Council like Morley we have a great example of how effective and the great work that is possible at local level."
