Description

A key component of the BBC's public purpose mission is to ensure that audiences can engage fully with major local issues, essential to democracy, keeping audiences informed and holding local authority to account.

65 Local Democracy Reporters to report on 118 'Contract Areas' (118 lots) across the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man.
