Being a councillor
Councillors are elected to represent an individual geographical unit on the council known as a ward. They are generally elected by the public every four years.
Councillors have three main components to their work.
- Decision Making
- Monitoring
- Getting involved locally
Every Councillor is required to sign up to the Council Code of Conduct which sets the standard of behaviour expected of members of the Council in their representation of the community.
