District Councillors are elected to represent the residents in their local community – including those that did not vote for them. They must either live or work in the District and represent the Ward for which they are elected. They are involved in the development and review of council policy, to make sure that the council has a clear direction and the correct working arrangements are in place to ensure that it achieves what it has set out to do, that will affect their own Ward, and the whole District.
