Council Staff and Elected Council
Councils have staff who work for the council. There are also elected councillors who are voted onto the council. If you have an issue that relates to a local council it is often helpful to raise the matter with the councillor for the ward in which you live. Council websites have the details of all elected councillors and maps of each council ward.
