Display Essential Council Information Clearly and Effectively
Councils have a responsibility to provide clear and accessible information about their councillors and key staff members. Displaying this information on your website improves transparency, builds trust with the community, and ensures compliance with legal requirements.
Why Display Staff and Councillor Information?
- Public Transparency - Helps residents understand who represents them and makes key decisions.
- Legal Compliance - Councils are required under the Local Government Act 1972 and Transparency Code 2015 to provide information on elected representatives, including names, roles, and declarations of interest.
- Easy Communication - Providing contact details allows the public to engage with councillors and relevant staff directly.
- Improved Accessibility - Clear categorisation and search features make it easier for residents to find the right person.
