How can I become a County Councillor?
Councillors are elected every 4 years to represent their local area. They help if people are dissatisfied with a council service by advising or directing them to someone who can help sort out the problem and can sometimes progress the case on their behalf. This is often done in advice surgeries where residents can meet with the councillor for their ward and discuss the problem. As community leaders they put forward proposals to improve their ward, which may include bringing together different community groups to develop a case for change. If you are interested in standing for election as a Councillor please contact your local District and Borough council.
