(list updated 1/9/26)
Together, these eight elected members make important council decisions that impact everyone living and working here.
Housing, roads, children and adult care, planning, emptying your bins, keeping streets clean and safe, and deciding what money is spent where – these are the people who make those choices, and more, on your behalf.
There’s space for 200 of you to come along and ask your questions – and Cllr Freeston wants to see you there.
He said: “Since we were elected in May, myself and all the cabinet members have been determined to go out and get views of all our residents. It is really important that we do that – and that we listen and do all we can to ensure concerns are heard and acted on.
“We want this event to be an extension of that work – come along, ask us questions, and what you will get is honest views and answers. If we can’t do something or don’t know, we will tell you why or find out, and if we can act then, then we will. We want to see you all there,” he added.
