If you are reading this guide as a new councillor I congratulate you on joining the council and thank you for taking up a civic office that can make a real difference to the community that your council represents. Now that the excitement of being elected or co-opted has subsided you may well be wondering what you have done and perhaps feel a little daunted by the responsibility you have taken on. You are now part of the democratic framework of the country representing the interests of your community within a broad landscape of national governance. This guide will help you understand more about your role and the difference you can make.
