Your Councillors

Councillors are elected to represent an individual geographical unit on the council, known as a ward or – mainly in smaller parishes – the entire parish or town council area. They are generally elected by the public every four years.

Councillors have three main components to their work:

  1. Decision making – Through meetings and attending committees with other elected members, councillors decide which activities to support, where money should be spent, what services should be delivered and what policies should be implemented.
  2. Monitoring – Councillors make sure that their decisions lead to efficient and effective services by keeping an eye on how well things are working.
  3. Getting involved locally – As local representatives, councillors have responsibilities towards their constituents and local organisations. These responsibilities and duties often depend on what the councillor wants to achieve and how much time is available, and may include:
  • Going to meetings of local organisations such as tenants’ associations.
  • Going to meetings of bodies affecting the wider community.
  • Taking up issues on behalf of members of the public.

Visiting your council is the best way to find out what happens there. Give the council a call and find out when its next public meeting happens. Members of the public people are allowed to be present at most council meetings and are always welcome.
