Could you be a community leader?

Councillors are elected by local people to set strategy, agree policy and make key decisions on council business. 

The role of a Councillor can be very varied and it is up to each individual councillor how they work. However, the three main areas of responsibility are:

• As a representative - representing your ward and the people who live there.
• As a community leader - participating in the activities of any outside body to which you are appointed, and reporting back to the Council.
• As a policy maker - helping to make decisions that shape the borough, as a member of the Council, a committee or an advisory panel.

Councillors usually represent a political party or group, however, they may be independent. All Councillors represent all the residents of the Borough.

Would you like to help your fellow residents? Could you decide on policies that shape the Borough and its services?
