MUNICIPAL COUNCIL OF SENIORS - THE ROLE OF " THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE" IN THE MATTERS OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES

Under the Act dated 11 October 2013 amending the Act on Municipal Self- Government, the ability to create municipal councils of seniors was introduced. The considered amendment is one of the wide range of legislative changes resulting from the process of population aging. The article attempts to assess how this optional collective body, aimed primarily at the civic activation of the elderly people and identification of their needs, works in the structure of the basic unit of the territorial system.
