The role of your councillors
Great Amwell Parish Council is a corporate body, and a legal entity, accountable to the local community.
The council plays a vital part in representing the interests of the communities it serves and improving the quality of life and the local environment.
Councillors contribute to the work of the Council by suggesting ideas, influencing policy, engaging in constructive debate and by responding to the needs and views of the community. They also comment on proposals to ensure the best outcome and vote to enable the Council to make decisions.
