Your county councillor can help if you have a query or concern about the council's services, by offering advice or directing you to someone who can help.
Councillors are there to make the major decisions on the services the council provides, to oversee how those services are run and to represent the interests of people in their division (the area they are elected to represent). They are elected every four years in local elections.
All councillors are entitled to receive an allowance for the duties they undertake as a councillor. You can find out about these allowances from this page.
Councillors must observe various rules of conduct in their activities as a councillor. For example, they are required by law to register any employment, business or financial interests they may have. This section will enable you to find out about these rules and also the registered interests of the current councillors.
Committees are set up to oversee certain specific areas of council work. Each committee consists of a group of councillors (sometimes with independent "co-opted" members) who are appointed in line with the wishes of the council's political groups. Find out which councillors sit on which committees.
