About councillors
There are 60 Councillors in all. Newham is divided into 20 areas
called 'Wards', each having three Councillors.
Councillors are elected at Local Elections, which are held every
four years. The next one is due in 2010. For the full results from
the last election (May 2006) and more general information on
elections, please see our
voting & elections
pages.
Unlike the officers, councillors are not employees of the council
and they are not paid a salary for their duties. However, they do
get an allowance. See
the Mayor and Councillors' Allowances for more information.
Councillors' Surgeries
Councillors are elected to serve and represent the community.
They want to be accessible to the people in their wards so they
hold regular advice surgeries where people can comment on the
council and its services and raise queries or problems about
them.
Alternatively, you can contact them directly, either by phone, in
writing, by email or via the Town Hall. |
