This is an election for London borough councillors.
Councillors represent the people of their ward on the council. Councillors are elected for four-year terms. Most London wards elect more than one councillor, which is why you may have more than one vote.
London boroughs are responsible for many different services, including:
- Child and adult social care
- Schools and education
- Rubbish collection and recycling
- Housing and planning
- Libraries and museums
- Roads and pavements
- 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.
