KLTV Public Eye | Working For Council and Community

UPDATE: In 2013, KLTV's Milton Brown interviewed George Matheson after fifteen years of public Service for Kirklees Council.

We hope this post shines a light on minority ethnic public sector workers who live in their community and the expectations placed on them if they live within a community which regularly faces socio-economic disadvantages

More importantly, we hope this interview provides a catalyst for open and honest dialogue with the Kirklees Council Cabinet and its African descent, Asian and Minority Ethnic Workers.

With a look back at this interview, we hope to provide provides an instrument to measure the progress and/or regress over seven years in Kirklees. As well as a deeper understanding of the relationship with Kirklees Council, its Ethnic Minority Staff and the communities they represent and serve in the borough of Kirklees.

We hope you find this video insightful and interesting.
