There are 23 councillors who serve for a four-year term and meet every 6-8 weeks as a full Council to debate and make decisions on issues concerning the area. They were elected or re-elected May 2023 and will represent their wards until Spring 2027.
Councillors are all unpaid and committed to working for the benefit of the community; they welcome residents and businesses contacting them regarding any local issues.
The Council employs a Clerk who co-ordinates the effective running of the Council. The Clerk is supported by a Deputy Clerk who is also the Council’s Responsible Financial Officer. In addition, the Council has appointed an Assistant Clerk specifically to support the work of the Climate Action, Communications and Engagement Standing Committee and the Planning Committee.
