WHAT DO LOCAL COUNCILS DO?
Your local council has overall responsibility for the wellbeing of your local community.
The 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
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
NALC’s Local Councillor Census Survey found that councillors put aside, on average, three hours a week for council work. As a smaller Parish Council it is unlikely that the time commitment will exceed this and more likely to be less than this.
The commitment is to attend meetings bi-monthly • engage with and represent your local community • adhere to the code of conduct and standards in public life • represent the Council
