Your Councillor

Your councillor is one of the people elected every 4 years to represent your area, which is called a Ward, on Craven District Council.

There are 19 Wards (electoral areas) for the Craven District Council.  Eight of these Wards are represented by one councillor and eleven are represented by two councillors.  In addition, there are seven county councillors who represent your area on North Yorkshire County Council.  These areas are called Electoral Divisions and this gives the name and contact details for the word icon County Councillors [183kb]. 

Your Councillor is your community leader.  (S)he can help if you are dissatisfied with a local service or you have other concerns about matters in your community.  The Councillor will give you advice or direct you to someone who can help sort out your problem.  Sometimes, they may progress the matter for you. 

As community leaders, councillors can put forward proposals to improve all or parts of their Ward of Electoral Division, which may include working with community groups or other organisations to develop a case for change.
