Councillor Information

There are 38 Councillors, each one elected for a period of 4 years to represent the residents in part of the District known as a Ward.  At present, the Conservative group comprises 23 Members, the Lib Dem / Green / Independent group comprises 14 Members and there is 1 Independent Member who is not aligned to a political group.  A Councillor’s Political Group is not necessarily the same as the political party they stood for at election.

Each elected Member serves on full Council, which determines strategic policy and approves certain matters "reserved" to Council, such as setting the budget and Council Tax.  Councillors also serve on one of two Area Development Control Committees, and may also serve on other committees, such as Executive Committee or the Licensing and Appeals Committee.

An important part of the Councillor's role takes place away from the Council itself and in their ward, where they act as a point of contact between the Council and the public on a range of community matters.  Many Councillors also serve on outside organisations, such as housing associations and school/college governing bodies, providing a valuable link between the Council and these organisations.
