De-escalation and Communication

On this episode of the Local Councils Podcast we hear from Alison Robinson is the Director of Council Services at Calne Town Council. Ali discusses her transition from a County Officer role at the Gloucestershire Association of Parish and Town Councils to Calne and her efforts to streamline internal structures and prioritise long-term budget planning. Ali considers the challenges of micro-devolution, as well as the importance of community engagement, as well as her personal commitment to continuous professional development. Ali is also preparing for a 130-mile coastal run in August to raise awareness for the Sunflowers Charity, which supports families affected by suicide.
