Council and democracy

We believe it is important that local people are involved in the decision-making processes that affect the way our council is run and how local services are delivered.

This section provides information about the council is run, what our priorities are and how you can get involved - from electing your local councillors, to voicing your concerns about local issues and telling us how you think we can improve council services.
