Your Councillors by Ward
Local councillors are elected by the community. They decide how the council should carry out its various activities, including how local services are run. Councillors represent general public interest as well as the individuals living in the ward where they’ve been elected.
Newark and Sherwood District Council is run by 39 councillors who are elected by the local community. Each councillor represents an area within the district – known as a ward - and serves for a period of four years.
The work of a councillor includes:
- helping local people
- supporting local organisations
- campaigning on local issues
- developing links with all parts of the community
Councillors have regular contact with the general public through council meetings, telephone calls or surgeries. Surgeries provide an opportunity for any ward resident to and talk their councillor face-to-face.
Councillors are not paid a salary for their work, but they do receive allowances.
