Your ward councillors
Local ward
councillors are responsible for representing the people who live in
this area, on a wide variety of issues. Councillors (also known as
Members) are normally elected for four year terms, and are elected
by local people to plan, run, monitor and develop Council
services.
Councillors work
to improve the quality of life for people within their area and
make decisions about local issues. They have to decide what is in
the public interest amidst a range of conflicting issues and views.
Councillors usually represent a Political Party, although can be
Independent. All Councillors represent all the citizens in their
ward.

Ward Forums
Each ward in
Hackney has its own ward forum which is run by local Councillors
and residents as a way to improve the local area
together.
Your ward
Councillors will help you to agree the key things that need to get
done in your area, whether that’s improving local facilities,
or finding a new community space to use. In some cases these will be things that ward forum
participants can lead on: examples of this from other parts of the
country have included decorating a community hall, or starting a
project to help vulnerable neighbours.
In other cases there will be priorities that the Council might be
able to help with, like finding ways to increase recycling or using
local facilities at different times.
Also, where there are successful community projects happening
already, the new Ward Forums can be used as a way to link them
together, and to the Council where needed.
