Lots of people have told me they aren't sure who is responsible for the issue they have raised and end up being passed around between Councils. I wanted to help, and just take a minute (literally a minute) to explain how Government works for us in Mansfield.
This is the first in a series of one minute videos where I hope to clarify questions like this, and deal with some of the things I'm regularly asked by constituents.
Many people think that as the MP I'm responsible for all of these things and can tell the Council what to do, but that's not the case. It's not a hierarchy, in fact each has different responsibilities and objective. You can find all of the responsibilities of different authorities using the links below:
