Local Councillors are elected by the community to decide how the council should carry out its various activities. They represent public interest as well as individuals living within the ward in which he or she has been elected to serve a term of office.
They have regular contact with the general public through council meetings, telephone calls or surgeries. Surgeries provide an opportunity for any ward resident to go and talk to their councillor face to face and these take place on a regular basis.
Wrexham County Borough Council has 56 councillors representing 47 wards. They are democratically elected every five years and form the Full Council. The Full Council is the ultimate decision making body, from which all other elements in the council structure derive their authority.
