The National Association of Local Councils (NALC), the Local Government Association (LGA) and the Royal British Legion (RBL) have published a joint letter to all councils regarding Remembrance events. Read the letter here.
The letter thanks councils for supporting and assisting in organising parades and services. It also asks for continued assistance and support to make them cost-effective, highlighting the part of RBL branches and volunteers can play.
Local (parish and town) councils are at the heart of the community and commemorative events and are crucial to enabling local people to remember the fallen and observance of this time-honoured tradition.
NALC is urging local councils and county associations to share the letter as widely as possible in their local areas.
