COUNCILLORS
Weasenham Parish Council currently consists of 4 Councillors who represent the community as the first tier of local government.​
The Role of a Councillor
A Councillor is a member of the Parish Council. They are usually elected for a term of four years but can also be co - opted if a vacancy arises mid-term or seats remain unfilled after an election. Councillors are elected to represent the views of the community and to consider the needs of the local environment.
​
Councillors are the first point of contact for anybody in the village with a community issue and they attend the monthly Parish Council meetings to discuss council business and to hear from members of the public.
​
Councillors must abide by a code of conduct and declare any pecuniary (financial) interest they have in the parish - this information is then held on a register by Breckland District Council.
​
Many Councillors see the role as a rewarding form of public service.
