Councillors
Councillors
The Town Council is made up of 16 Councillors who are voluntary. They can choose to receive the allowance of £350 a year that is available to cover Council-related costs such as stationery, telephone bills, travel, etc. The contact details for Councillors
can be viewed here
,
but please scroll down to find out more about each Councillor.
Councillors represent
different external organisations
and they also represent different wards of the Town, which can be viewed here:
wards map
and
street list.
The make up of each ward is as follows:
Blandford Central Ward – six councillors
Langton St Leonards Ward – three councillors
Old Town Ward – three councillors
Hilltop Ward – two councillors
Badbury Heights Ward – two councillors
Councillors are also appointed to act as representatives to organisations and groups within the town. Representation in the local community develops greater understanding within the Council of the role these organisations and groups have. Representatives are nominated either at the request of a particular organisation/group or, if core funding has been granted, at the request of the Town Council.
The term of office for representatives is normally for a period of one year commencing from the Statutory Annual Meeting of the Town Council in May. Town Council representatives are expected to attend meetings of the organisation they represent and take an active part in its operations. Annual reports are submitted by each representative to the Statutory Annual Meeting of the Town Council in May.
