Councillors are elected by people in their community to represent them and make decisions on their behalf. Being a councillor is rewarding, challenging and enjoyable and you can change people’s lives for the better. It’s important that councillors are like the people who elect them so that they can represent all the different views in the community and take decisions that benefit everyone. Wales needs more Women, People from Black, Asian and other minority ethnic communities, LGBTQ+ people, disabled people and young people to stand for election. The next local elections are in 2022. You could BE A COUNCILLOR!
