Local Councillors are elected by the community to decide how the council should carry out its various activities. They represent public interest as well as individuals living within the ward in which he or she has been elected to serve a term of office.
Councillors provide a bridge between the community and the council. As well as being an advocate for local residents and signposting them to the right people at the council, Councillors keep local residents informed about the issues that affect them.
They have regular contact with the general public through council meetings, telephone calls or surgeries. Surgeries provide an opportunity for any ward resident to go and talk to their Councillor face to face and these take place on a regular basis. Find out when your Local Councillors have their surgeries here.
You can contact your Local Councillor for help & advice with the following:
- queries and concerns about any local issues
- for information on how council decisions affect you
- provide information on the ward
- as a point of contact to know and work with representatives of local organisations, interest groups and businesses
- represent your views at council meetings
- lead local campaigns on your behalf.
