West Lindsey District Council is committed to the ongoing development of all Councillors. On election to the council, Members are provided with a comprehensive induction programme, covering aspects such as the key themes of the decision-making process, committee-specific training opportunities, and a focus on service areas within the council. Through the work of the Member Development Group, Councillors are invited to attend workshops, information sessions, mandatory training (for example for the Planning Committee) and have the opportunity to attend external events, such as those provided by the Local Government Association.
A review of the West Lindsey District Council Member Development Plan, which underpins our commitment to Member Development, is currently underway and will be available in due course.
