Your Councillors
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 and some Councillors may hold surgeries. Surgeries provide an opportunity for any ward resident to go and talk to their Councillor face to face. Contact your Councillor for further details. If you are interested in becoming a Councillor there is more information on the Local Government Association website
Councillors are not paid a salary for their work, but they do receive allowances. By law, all members of the Council are required to complete a register of interest form, the details of which are available for inspection by contacting Democratic Services by email or by telephone on 01242 774937.
The current political makeup of the Council is 29 Liberal Democrats, 7 Conservatives, 3 People Against Bureaucracy and 1 independent. The Liberal Democrat group therefore has an overall majority of 18 on the Borough Council.
