The Town Councillor

A Town Councillor is a member of the Council, democratically elected by the community he/she serves, who will work together with other councillors for the benefit of the community. He/she will bring local issues to the attention of the Council and help it to make decisions on behalf of the local community. Town Councillors work on behalf of the community voluntarily - they are not paid for the work that they do. The Mayor is entitled, in law, to an allowance to enable him/her to meet the expenses of being in office, such as attending public functions, opening events and new buildings, public relations and promoting the town, generally.

A councillor's role is to assist in management of the Council, depending upon available resources and level of activity, including;

• fixing the budget, making policy decisions,
• issuing guidance to staff and controlling same,
• monitoring the proper implementation of decisions made by the Council,
• suggesting new initiatives or development of existing policies,
• ensuring that the views of the community are put to the relevant persons or bodies and that the special interests of the community are safeguarded or promoted.

A councillor has a duty to act properly and to abide by the adopted Code of Conduct, to attend meetings of the Council, to declare interests as appropriate (Local Government Act 2000 Part III), and to represent the electorate as a whole, not just his/her own voters.

If you have a problem or want to make your views known about anything connected with Leominster, contact one of your Town Councillors. If they cannot help you directly, they will know a woman/man who can!
