There are several ways to contact councillors, in writing, by telephone and, in some cases, by email. You can find all councillors’ contact details in the Local Democracy section - click here.

If you wish to write to a councillor it is often best to send your letter direct to their home address.

However, if it is more convenient, it is possible to deliver items of mail for councillors to the Civic Offices for onward transmission. These items will be held for collection by the councillors when they next visit the Civic Offices. If the items have not been collected at the time of the next available Council messenger delivery to councillors’ homes, the items will be included in that delivery. Depending on when the mail is received it could wait for up to eight days before being sent out in a messenger delivery.

If your communication is urgent, or if you doubt that the councillor will receive the items within a set time if left at the Civic Offices, you are advised to post or email the document(s) direct to the councillor(s) concerned.

If the mail is a letter(s) of representation about a Planning, Licensing or any other matter to be formally heard by a Committee of the Council you should, in addition, send a copy of the representations to the relevant Head of Service.
