What parish councillors do
Councillors are elected to represent the local community, so you must live or work in the parish council area. Becoming a councillor is a rewarding experience as you can make a change in your community to help improve residents' lives. A councillor’s role can include developing strategies and plans for the area, helping with problems and ideas, representing the community, working with other local community groups, making decisions, and talking to the community about their needs and what the council is doing.
A councillor's role has three main areas:
Decision-making — Councillors decide which activities to support, where money should be spent, what services should be delivered, and what policies should be implemented by attending meetings and committees.
Monitoring — Councillors ensure that their decisions lead to efficient and effective services by monitoring how well things work.
Getting involved locally — As local representatives, councillors have responsibilities towards their constituents and local organisations. These responsibilities often depend on what a given councillor wants to achieve and how much time is available.
What a day as a councillor may look like
The day-to-day work of a councillor may include the following:
Attending council meetings.
Joining meetings of local organisations and bodies that affect the wider community, such as the police, the Highways Authority, schools and colleges.
Taking up issues on behalf of residents, such as making representations to the principal authority.
