First Challenge – Votes and Voices
Local Government Challenge
The very first in the series of the Local Government Challenge takes the ten hopefuls to Coventry where some areas of the city have low levels of voter turn out. The contestants must battle it out and find some winning ideas to tackle the issue if they are to impress a panel of high ranking leaders that included: LGA Chief Executive John Ransford, Martin Reeves, Chief Executive of Coventry City Council and Julie Towers, Chief Executive of Tribal.
