Heanor and Loscoe Town Council

Tel: (01773) 533050


​Role of a Councillor
A councillor is a member of the council and is normally elected for a term of four years. The next election for Heanor & Loscoe Town Councillors is in 2027.

People of any political or religious persuasion are eligible to become a Councillor, although their personal views should not extend into their Town Council work.

They are elected to represent the interests of the local community as a whole and promote a harmonious local environment. The number of elected Councillors depends on the size of the area. For Heanor & Loscoe Town Council the numbers of Councillors is 21 in total. This is split into three Wards of Heanor West Ward, Loscoe Ward and Heanor East Ward. There are 7 Councillors for each Ward.

Local councils are the first tier of governance and are the first point of contact for anyone concerned with a community issue. They are democratically elected local authorities and exist in England, Wales and Scotland. The term ‘local council’ is synonymous with ‘Parish Council’, ‘Town Council’ and ‘Community Council’.

Local councils are made up of locally elected Councillors. They are legally obliged to hold one meeting a year. Most meet on a six-weekly cycle to discuss council business and hear from local residents. In addition to this, any committees or sub-committees dealing with specific subjects must also hold regular open sessions, at which members of the public can speak. Borough councillors regularly attend Town Council Meetings to report back to the district on developments at Town Council level. County, unitary and metropolitan Councillors are also invited to attend Town Council Meetings when the Town Council feels it is appropriate, and they have a standing invitation to attend and report at the Annual General Meeting.

Being a Town Councillor can be an interesting and rewarding experience.
