General Information on our Councillors

The Borough of Bexley is divided into 21 Wards. Each Ward is represented by 3 elected Councillors.

Elections are held every 4 years - The next one is due in 2010. For the full results from the last election (May 2006) and more general information on elections, please see our election pages.

The Council meets for normal business four times a year in July, November, February and April. An Annual Meeting is also held in May when the main business is to elect a Mayor, a leader and a cabinet, together with a number of other bodies. A special meeting is held in March every year to agree the budget for the following financial year and set the level of the Council Tax.

Unlike the officers, Councillors are not employees of the Council and they are not paid a salary for their duties. They do, however, receive an allowance designed to recompense them for the work which they undertake.

As well as forming part of the Council's decision-making processes, Councillors also form an essential link between the Council and the constituents they represent. As such, Councillors are available to be contacted by constituents and many Councillors hold regular "surgeries" in their Wards (see individual Ward details for more information).

For more information on the Wards please see our Ward map.
For more information on elected Councillors, please see our A to Z listings.

Unhappy with a Councillor's behaviour?

Changes to the complaints procedure

From 8 May 2008, the responsibility for considering complaints that a Member may have breached the Code of Conduct has moved to the standards committees of local authorities.

What this means to you

From 8 May 2008, if you want to complain about the conduct of a Member of the London Borough of Bexley, you must submit your complaint to:

The Standards Committee
FAO: The Monitoring Officer
London Borough of Bexley
Room 343
Civic Offices
Broadway
Bexleyheath, Kent
DA6 7LB

The Standards Committee can only deal with complaints about the behaviour of a Member. It will not deal with complaints about things that are not covered by the Members’ Code of Conduct. If you make a complaint to the Standards Committee, it must be about why you think a Member has not followed the Code of Conduct.

Further information is available on the Standards Board’s website at www.standardsboard.gov.uk
