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. Details of your county councillor can be found within the document on the right hand side of this page.

Your Councillor can help if you are dissatisfied with one of the local services or you have other concerns about matters in your area.  The Councillor will give you advice or direct you to someone who can help sort out your problem.  Sometimes, they may progress the issue on your behalf. 

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 to develop a case for change.
