your municipality to look at issues of:

• Advertising (how?, when?, where?)• Municipal meetings (where?, when?, who?)• Information dissemination (how?, access?)
Indigent policy and FBS implementation • Visibility in the IDP• Adequate funding (equitable share, cross-subsidisation)• Linkage to strategies for poverty alleviation
