A total of 61 district councillors represent your views
at North Somerset Council.
Each of them represents a ward of the district which is
an area set up for administrative and political purposes,
containing a set amount of the electorate. The
chairman represents the council at civic
events and promotes the area.
You can find out more about each elected councillor by searching
for them
by name or
by ward. You can also use our
interactive
map to find out your ward and the councillor(s) who serve
it. Just choose 'Councillors and Wards' on the left hand-side
of the map.
Councillors regularly hold
surgeries in their wards where you can air your
views, make a complaint or ask them about specific
council issues or services.
They also sit on an
area
committee which determines planning applications
and on one of seven policy and scrutiny
panels overseeing and scrutinising council functions.
Councillors have to make
a
declaration of interest about any interests they have that
are connected with council business. We also have
an
independent
remuneration panel to review councillors allowances and if
you need to, you can find out how
to
make a complaint about a councillor. You can also find
out
how to become a councillor if you would like to represent
your communtiy.

services team.
