Your Councillors

The Council is made up of 19 councillors, representing three wards. Councillors are elected by residents of their ward every four years.

​

Councillors make policy and take key decisions on the Council’s budget, priorities, and how the Council should be run. They are supported and advised in their decision-making by officers (i.e. staff) who work in the various council departments, and who then implement the Council’s decisions.

​

Councillors also champion local issues. They can help if you are dissatisfied with a Council service by advising or directing you to someone who can help sort out your problem, and can sometimes progress the case on your behalf.

​

As community leaders, they put forward proposals to improve Burnham, often bringing together different community groups to develop a case for change.
