Being a Parish Councillor is all about giving back to the community by bringing energy, passion, and a hard-working attitude. Councillors make a huge difference to the quality of life of local people and how local issues are dealt with. They are responsible for a range of vital services for people and businesses in defined areas, such as school education, adult learning, children’s and adult’s social care, housing and regeneration, emergency responses, parks, playgrounds and open spaces, community cohesion, leisure centres and activities for all ages, climate and environment, health and wellbeing, supporting vulnerable people, refuse, recycling and street cleaning, economic growth, business support and advice, arts, libraries, museums and heritage sites, transport, roads and street lighting, community safety and crime reduction, planning and building regulation.
