About A Parish Councillor
A parish councillor represents the views of all residents within the parish. What do they do?
• Work to identify issues which are important to the lives of the residents they represent. •Improve the quality of life and the environment in their local area.
• Work to bring about improvements through local projects, lobbying other service providers and working in partnership with other parishes and agencies. • Influence and shape the long term development policy for the parish, and as part of the planning process, comment on planning applications in the parish.
