Further Information on Councillor - Borough

What is a Charnwood Borough councillor?
A district or borough councillor is elected by the Charnwood community to serve the best interests of Charnwood. From fine-tuning the details of large-scale planning applications to deciding the opening hours of the pub, all are important. Councillors may raise any issues that affect their communities directly with the council and work towards resolving them. Being close to their communities, Charnwood Borough Councillors are well placed to serve them.
What are the duties of borough councillors?
Councillors have a wide range of duties, including:

  • representing the interests of the community in Charnwood whilst taking a broader view of the needs of the district or borough as a whole;
  • participating in the decision making process;
  • campaigning for improvement in the quality of life in Loughborough and the rest of Charnwood;
  • playing a leading role in the area as a community leader;
  • keeping people in the community informed about work; and
  • being accessible to local people and attend civic functions in Loughborough and the rest of Charnwood.

In order to become a Charnwood Borough Councillor, you must be a registered elector in Charnwood and also be over 21 years of age and have the support of a number of residents in your area. Councillors are elected for a term of four years and must seek re-election if they wish to remain in office for longer than this. Councillors receive a monthly allowance which recognises the time they devote to their work and which may increase if they take on extra responsibilities, such as chairing a committee.
