About the council
As a local council we are responsible for making decisions about lots of services which affect the lives of residents in Wrexham.
We operate through departments – each with responsibility for delivering specific services which support the council’s strategic aims and corporate policies.
Speak to current councillors
Councillors have regular contact with the general public through council meetings, telephone calls or surgeries. Surgeries provide an opportunity for any ward resident to talk to their councillor.
Many of our councillors are also active on social media platforms where you may also be able to get in touch with them.
Standing for election
Being a local councillor
What does the role of a councillor involve?
Councillors are elected to represent the community and its residents. They help to decide how local services are provided, funded and prioritised.
Local councillors can also help maintain effective partnerships with organisations that are independent from the council, but have an impact on its service areas. They may do this by sitting on the committees and forums that are responsible for these outside bodies.
