After skipping the December meeting for the last two years, there is likely plenty to discuss in January.

This year is also the year of local government elections, which will take place in September.

This live blog is for those who have an interest in local government and Leeton Shire Council and how these monthly meetings play out.

First glance at the agenda tonight shows several items, including the formal adoption of council's new Community Participation Plan.

Typically at council meetings it can be comments from councillors and those presenting to meetings that are the most interesting part of the evening, so stay tuned from 7pm tonight.
