Councillors and Wards

The role of a Councillor

Councillors constitute the council and are democratically elected by the local population. The role of a local councillor is not defined in law but is essentially to represent the local community, contributing to decisions made by the council. This can include

• responding to residents’ questions, investigating their concerns, leading campaigns on their behalf.

• Being aware of, communicating and liaising with other bodies locally (including interest groups and businesses)

• communicating council decisions to residents and representing residents views at council meetings.

• working/communicating with representatives of local organisations, interest groups and businesses.
