A NEW series of leaflets has been drawn up to help people understand what happens at North Wiltshire District Council meetings.

The leaflets explain what happens at the various council and committee meetings, most of which are open to the public.

The leaflets explain what the district council, the executive and the various committees do as well as how people can take part.

Lead member for Communications, Coun David Evans said: "We hope that these leaflets will show how people can play a part and have their say in the local democracy process."

The leaflets are available from the district council offices and can be viewed electronically on the website www.northwilts.gov.uk
