Juggling family life, a full-time job and the responsibilities of a local councillor can be a difficult task.
That's why I'm pleased to back @lgcplus's campaign to encourage more people of all ages and backgrounds to get involved in local government.

Of course we can add North Yorkshire and Somerset to the <400k list so that will push the average up, but important to acknowledge 500k is not currently the norm.

It's from 2020 so population numbers will have changed slightly, but back then there were only 11 unitaries with populations greater than 400,000, with the average way below that, serving a population of 272,000. @lgcplus
