What do local councils 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 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.
