Your council website

Most council websites provide a summary of their council members. This usually includes a brief overview of each council member’s background and their areas of focus and interests. Some councils also include contact details of their council members.

You can also get to know your council members by following their official social media channels. Many council members will use their social media accounts to share their perspectives and projects they may be working on.
