The work falls into three main categories:               representing the local community delivering services to meet local needs striving to improve quality of life in the parish Councillors have three main areas of work:               Decision-making: through attending meetings, councillors decide which activities to support, where money should be spent, what services should be delivered and what policies should be implemented Monitoring: councillors make sure that their decisions lead to efficient and effective services by keeping an eye on how well things are working Getting involved locally: as local representatives, councillors have responsibilities towards their constituents and local organisations. This often depends on what the councillor wants to achieve and how much time is available.
