In defence of councillors is an unashamed defence of local
representative democracy and of those elected to serve as
councillors from the often ill-informed, ill-judged and inaccurate
criticism made by the media, government and public, of councillors'
personal, political and professional roles. By using qualitative
research from a number of related projects, the book examines the
roles, functions and responsibilities of councillors and the
expectations placed upon them by citizens, communities and
government. It also examines the impact council membership has on
other facets of the councillor's life. The book examines how
councillors develop strategies to overcome the constraints and
restrictions on their office so as to be able to govern their
communities, balance their political and public life and
democratise and hold to account a vast array of unelected bodies
that spend public money and develop public policy without the
electoral mandate and legitimacy held by our councillors. -- .
