  • This is an election for county councillors.

    Councillors represent the people of their division on the council. Councillors are elected for four-year terms. Each county division elects one councillor.

    County councils are responsible for many different services, including:

    • Child and adult social care
    • Schools and education
    • Libraries and museums
    • Roads and pavements

    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.
