City Councillors

In Chester there is a two-tier system of local government, which means  that local services are divided up between the County Council and the City Council. The County Council provides some services (such as education, social services, libraries and strategic planning) whilst the City Council provide more local services such as collecting the Council Tax and Non-domestic Rates, and carry out other services (refuse collection, planning, environmental health etc.).

In two-tier areas, voters elect councillors to serve on both authorities. For details of your local councillors see the A-Z Chester City Councillors and the  A-Z of Cheshire County Councillors (external link)

There is also another level of elected local government - Parish Councils

You can also find information about your rights as a voter, the role of your councillors and how you can get involved.
