West Harrow councillor's 'join local government' call to ethnic minorities

Posted by Ian Proctor on Dec 30, 08 10:14 AM in Local Authority

West Harrow councillor Anjana Patel is to urge more females from ethnic minority backgrounds to take part in public life.

She is a member of the BAME (Black and Ethnic Minorities) Women Councillors Taskforce, which is sponsored by the Government Equalities Office and is holding an event in Islington on Friday January 9 to combat the over-representation of white men in local government.

Mrs Patel will be speaking alongside the taskforce's chair, the peer Baroness Uddin, and Jyoti Vaja, a member of Islington Council.

Delegates to the event at Islington Town Hall will be led through workshops which describe what being a councillor involves and what a difference such people can make.

We'd like to hear from you.
