It includes a conversation with Lyn Cadwallader and Paul Egan, Chief Executive and Deputy Chief Executive of One Voice Wales. They discuss the strategic picture facing Community and Town Councils in Wales, as well as the ways that the councils themselves could become an even more valuable and effective tier of local government.
