Manifesto
At One Voice Wales we produce a manifesto which sets out our commitment to developing Community and Town Councils and supporting their work.
We stress the importance of local democracy and emphasise our vision of how better services could be delivered with local people.
We present policy ideas to unlock the power and potential of communities.
Public bodies need to be more responsive to local needs. Closer engagement with Community and Town Councils can assist in creating a greater awareness and understanding of local needs and requirements.
Our manifesto commitments explain the challenges and opportunities arising from the pressure to deliver more services locally and respond to increasing customer expectations. But Community and Town Councils must be provided with the powers, governance arrangements and resources to deliver an agile set of services to meet these growing challenges.
Our latest manifesto was launched on 5 March 2026 in preparation for the forthcoming Senedd elections, and is available below.
We also work with partners such as The Institute of Welsh Affairs (IWA) to challenge, inspire and drive change, making Wales a better place to live and work for everyone. The IWA is independent of government and political parties. Below is their Charter for Places which we helped to develop:
