MEET YOUR COUNCILLORS
Hertford Heath councillors have a wide range of skills and experience to bring to their role.
As well as contributing to full council meetings, each councillor may also be part of a committee dealing with specific issues.
The role of councillors
Hertford Heath Parish Council is a corporate body, and a legal entity, accountable to the local community.
The council plays a vital part in representing the interests of the communities they serve and improving the quality of life and the local environment.
Councillors contribute to the work of the Council by suggesting ideas, influencing policy, engaging in constructive debate and by responding to the needs and views of the community.
They also comment on proposals to ensure the best outcome and vote to enable the Council to make decisions.
If you need to get in touch with any councillor, please use the email links on this page or contact them via the clerk.
The Clerk's hours are flexible but you can usually expect a reply within 48 hours.
