County councillors represent your interests at more than just council meetings. Many are appointed to represent Hampshire's interests in organisations ranging from local voluntary groups and community health councils to the body responsible for regional planning. We appoint councillors to the Hampshire Police Authority and the Hampshire Fire and Rescue Authority. Putting views to your county councillor Your county councillor can help you put your interests, views and concerns to the right people at the right time, whether officers or a committee. Your county councillor can suggest and help you find the right person to give advice and help.
Councillors welcome the opportunity to hear local people's views.
All county councillors have their own arrangements for keeping in touch with the communities they represent. Many arrange regular opportunities for local people to meet them and discuss issues of concern. If you do not know who your county councillor is, or do not know how to get in touch, then our Information Centre staff will be able to help. It is the duty of staff to provide impartial advice on matters they think the County Council should consider. The County Council and its committees make decisions which chief officers and their staff must carry out.
