I know what my ward councillors do. They come to the Friends of Rhyddings Park meetings and try to help us out every way they can to improve things.

I have emailed my County Councillor on the topic of school zig zags and the issue was quickly sorted. I suspect that was more to do with me badgering an LCC cabinet member and asking the engineer responsible by email, why he had put children at risk by his actions - that soon got him moving
The point I was trying to make is that people want County Councillors, Local Councillors to deal with the problems in the areas they represent.

Dorothy Westell, even though she may not live in Ossy has been extremely effective over the years in getting a lot of problems solved that matter to people in Ossy.

And that in my opinion is what good local Councillors should be about.
