What do councillors do?

Local councillors are the champions of their community who invest time in local projects and issues to the benefit of residents and the neighbourhood. Councillors represent the residents, local groups and businesses, make decisions on local services, collaborate with district councils to identify local needs, and progress vital projects to invest in the future of the community.

Councillors are a voice for their community and make real change by getting involved with issues concerning the area, keeping it a great place to live and work.

Old Stratford Parish Council currently meet at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month for 1-2hours to represent the electors by raising and discussing issues of interest on which we are empowered to act.

• be at least 18 years old;
