Councillor details

The Council provides general information on local councillors, including details of who they are and what they do.

As a result of the Local Government Act 2000, the role of councillors has changed with the introduction of an executive/scrutiny system. The council is run on a system similar to that at central government, with an executive to make major policies and councillors to scrutinise or examine these decisions in detail.
