Who is a Municipal Councillor?
In the UK A local councillor is an elected member of the local council.Before an election the political parties (and anyone who is standing as an independent) will tell people what they intend to do should they be elected. This is called their manifesto.The council may be split into committees to deal with a range of local issues such as planning, transport, education, social services, housing, finance, parks, leisure and other local community issues.There may be what is called a cabinet. This is a group of senior councillors from the majority party (the one that had more than half of the councillors that were elected).The largest political party on the council takes control and they will elect a leader of the council from among themselves. They will then tell everyone what will happen based on their manifesto commitments. This is called the Council Policy.The people who are paid to work for the council are called council officers and they make sure that the council policy is carried out.If there is no largest party there are normally discussions among the political groups to see who can work together. When enough groups can agree and are the majority of councillors they can work together. This is called a coalition.The local councillor may be on one or more of the committees if there are committees or they may be a cabinet member or they may be called a back bencher. This refers to parliament where Members of Parliament who don't hold important jobs have to sit on the benches at the back.Local councillors should listen to local people and help them to make positive changes to the area the councillor represents. Grass that should be cut but has grown long, litter on the streets, and housing problems are very common for councillors to deal with.A Councillor is a member of a council, which is an assembly summoned together for deliberation to perform some legislative function.
