@786salman-arshad.bsky.socialFor a city to thrive, it needs affordability. Property taxes have climbed 30% in 4 years – that's unsustainable. Without accountability and transparency at City Hall, controlling costs and keeping taxes down is impossible. Fighting for both. #localgov #affordability

@acarpen.bsky.socialFrom IG, a case in the US where their #localgov council gave away their personal data to a big corporation. www.instagram.com/reel/DeP3W_-... Huge issues raised on big data & consent.
@acarpen.bsky.socialOne for #localgov officers as well as councillors. Also one for anyone who has lived in council housing or social housing - how do these inspection regimes from the interwar era compare with your experiences?

@acarpen.bsky.social"Without major reform of the regressive nature of Council Tax and substantial improvements in central state financial transfers to local government, these are ‘passive revolution’ measures designed to offer minor structural changes."

@786salman-arshad.bsky.socialServing elected officials means navigating disagreements. Democracy thrives on differing opinions. Clearly articulating your 'why' and selling that vision is key to getting support for any decision. #localgov #civicengagement
@786salman-arshad.bsky.socialMeltonians want better roads, cars, snow clearing, and recreation, but not rising property taxes. Where do you draw the line on services when funds are limited? That's the common conversation. #localgov #priorities
