St Mark's ward

This election was held on Thursday 7 May 2026.

  • This is an election for district councillors.

    Councillors represent the people of their ward on the council. Councillors are elected for four-year terms, and most wards elect more than one councillor. This council elects half of its councillors every four years, which is why you may have more than one vote.

    District councils are responsible for many different services, including:

    • Rubbish collection and recycling
    • Housing and planning
    • Sports facilities and public parks

    Councils are funded by a combination of council tax, business rates, and grants from the UK government. Councillors are not paid a salary, but they do receive financial compensation and expenses to cover their time and travel commitments.
