What does a local council do?

Your local council has overall responsibility for the wellbeing of your local community. Their work falls into three main categories:

• Delivery of services
• Improve quality of life for residents
• Give communities a democratic voice

Becoming a local councillor

As a local councillor you can become a voice for your community and make real change. Councillors are community leaders and represent the interests of the communities they serve. Local councillors have three main responsibilities:

• Decision-making
• Monitoring
• Getting involved locally

Calling all community heroes to become parish councillors. We want people of all backgrounds and experience to represent the community and help #MakeAChange.
