Next week (7-14 June) marks Local Council Clerk Week 2025, which shines a spotlight on the professionals who keep the wheels of grassroots democracy turning. Many are valued members of NACO. The theme for this week is ‘Empower Change’.
Clerks are the lynchpins of around 10,000 local councils across England and Wales. As English devolution continues to shift power closer to communities, local councils are stepping up—and clerks are leading the charge. In Wales, community councils are seizing new opportunities to shape local futures.
NACO is happy to promote Local Council Clerk Week, and the important work that clerks, and their councils do to deliver democracy in their local communities.Here is a link to a video aimed at secondary students, but appealing to a wider audience. You can watch it here.
