CIVIC is a group of councillors, ex-councillors and members of the public who began supporting each other when they met on line. They had been sharing their experiences in social media posts and on websites, obtaining advice and help where there was none available in the real world. Some of them were continuing to hold their councils to account as a lone voice or in a small, minority group, some had resigned or not stood for re-election, unwilling to carry on in what they believed was a rigged system, challenging it from outside.
Each of these people was expressing serious concerns about the state of local government at the very lowest tier.
