Forget What You Think You Know... explores the social issues that are affecting communities in England on a day-to-day basis. We look at topics like housing, jobs, climate change, public health, social care, and education to name a few.


In the podcasts we interview people facing these issues; policy and sector experts to hear about the changes that are needed; and councils who are working on the frontline to learn what they are doing to tackle them.

      As we approach the local elections in May, this episode aims to explore the role of a councillor, challenge stereotypes and bring to life stories of local democracy in action. In this episode, Sophie Page is joined by four councillors from different backgrounds to discuss what it really means to be a councillor − whilst juggling university work, full time jobs and motherhood − and to understand why it’s a role for anyone who is passionate about their local community to consider.
