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.
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.
Councillors are not employed by the Council but may receive payments for their work as Councillors.
The party that Councillors stand for at an election doesn’t always match the political group they join – sometimes they might stand for one party, but join another group once elected.
