Unite Councillors Network

The Unite Councillors’ Network is open to union members who are current Labour councillors, candidates or who have an interest in local government. It is a combination of meetings and events held across the UK and the web site pages. These provide opportunities for dialogue on what’s happening in local government and what we’d like to see happen (or not!).

Unite is affiliated to the Labour Party and, as such, only provides support to Labour councillors and Labour candidates.

The network is also about how the union can help members who want to be Labour councillors find out more about the campaigning and selection process, what help is available from the union and some useful background on what to expect when on the council.

These web pages cover some basic policy positions on local government related issues as well as campaigns and key people within the union’s structures.
