Get involved in the development of your ward, know how much of your money, your Ward has received, know how your money is spent in your ward, talk and dialogue with your Councillor about issues facing your Ward. Make your Councillor your G (Friend).
Me and MyG is a campaign for young people to interact with their immediate duty bearer, in this case your Councillor. It is the most feasible (and easy) way that young people can be informed about the decisions/plans of the council over wards and directly engage with the Councillor to have their needs heard in the communities (and city/town). In addition, this is a campaign that will enable young people to participate on local discourse and later national.
