6 Maidstone Borough Council Representing your views on Maidstone Borough Council
Maidstone Borough Council is run by councillors who you vote for at local elections. Councillors make decisions on behalf of the community about local services, for example rubbish and recycling collections and leisure facilities, and agree budgets and Council Tax charges
They represent residents in areas, called wards, for four
years. The work of a councillor includes holding surgeries to help local people, supporting local organisations, campaigning on local issues, and developing links with all parts of the community.
They are not council employees and are not paid a salary or wages, but they are entitled to allowances and expenses to cover some of the costs of carrying out their public duties.
The elected councillors provide the policies, and then paid A ALLINGTON B EAST C FANT
employees, council officers, put them into practice. You can attend most meetings of the council, although usually
you will not be able to speak at them. The council publishes a 'forward work plan' listing the decisions that will be taken over the coming months. It also publishes meeting papers at least five working days in advance, and afterwards the minutes of the meeting, summarising the decisions made.
