Local authorities provide many services such as housing, fire services, libraries and parks. They also manage essential infrastructure, such as roads, public lighting, and footpaths.
Each local authority has an elected council that represents the community and makes decisions that shape the area in which you live.
The elected council makes key decisions on the development of the local area, and its amenities and services. Council decisions have a real impact on life in local communities. Governance and oversight are other important aspects of the role of the Councillor, in addition to their role representing their communities.
