Your Councillors by Division

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 their councillor face to face and these take place on a regular basis.

Elected Members should be able to carry our their role without intimidation, abuse, bullying or threatening behaviour from anyone, including the general public.

Councillors are not paid a salary for their work, but they do receive allowances. The amount claimed can be seen in the Outturn Report which is published annually.

By law, all members of the Council are required to complete a declaration of interest form, the details of which are published annually on their profile pages.
