Local democracy and elections

Local elections are your chance to help decide who runs the Council. If you haven’t registered to vote, your voice won’t be heard.

Between elections you can contact your local ward councillor about local issues. This is your opportunity to be involved in the democratic process on a day-to-day basis.
