'Being a Councillor - You Can make a Difference!' is the name of an informative workshop being run by the City Council and Exeter Council for Voluntary Services (CVS).

Students from the College will be in Bedford Square on 17 October, offering members of the public the chance to deliver their own 30-second manifesto for the city, which will be fimed on camera by the students. Whether people want a swimming pool or brand new athletics track, more money for housing or more cash to clean up grafitti, this is a chance for people to have their say. The students will also be working with the City Council during the week and looking at how democracy works in the city.
