Dan Hutchison, winner of Young Councillor of the Year in the LGIU Scotland & CCLA Cllr Awards 2023, talks about his journey into politics, his work as a councillor for Govan in Glasgow, and his proposals for making people's lives easier. As a Scottish Green Party councillor, Dan is involved in a ‘bike bus’ initiative for pupils at Ibrox Primary School, and his proposals include a feasibility study to move the council workforce to a four-day working week. Dan is motivated by making a positive difference as a councillor and aims to make bureaucracy work for people so that they don't have to spend their whole day on it.
