Brentwood Borough Council Council and Democracy - Councillors (Brentwood Borough)

Councillors (Brentwood Borough)

Brentwood Borough Council operates as a 'parliament in miniature'. The Borough is divided into 15 wards, eight of which have 3 elected councillors. Six of the wards have two councillors each. The least populated ward is represented by one councillor.

Brentwood Borough Council has the current political make up:
Conservative 27
Liberal Democrat 8
Labour 1
Independent 1

Each councillor is elected for a period of four years and must then either stand down or seek re-election. Elections are held each year, on the first Thursday in May, for a third of the seats. In the fourth year no Borough Council election takes place because of the County Council elections.

All decisions on policy are taken by the councillors, both in committee and meetings of the Council. As well as concerning themselves with all general matters affecting the Borough, councillors are especially concerned with the activities of their own ward and are directly accountable to the residents of that ward. Every resident of the Borough has therefore at least one councillor (three in some wards) to whom they can turn for help. Your councillors will be pleased to hear from you on both ward and Borough concerns.

To help you make contact with your ward councillors, we have given the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the councillors.
