Community council enquiries - open data

A Community Council is a voluntary organisation set up by statute by the Local Authority and run by local residents to act on behalf of its area. As the most local tier of elected representation, Community Councils play an important role in local democracy. Community Councils are made up of people who care about their communities and want to make their area a better place to live. Community Councillors represent local people, voice peoples’ views on important decisions which affect them and work with others to improve services. A range of people must be part of a Community Council so different opinions and ideas are heard.

Community Council enquiries are logged and managed by the Community Council co-ordinator with each being sent to the relevant service area within the authority. This dataset summarises number of enquiries by month, community council, and recipient service.
