Because being a councillor is not standing in front of a Union Jack shouting about dinghies on GB News.
It’s reading committee papers at midnight. Attending meetings nobody enjoys. Holding surgeries in half-empty church halls. Arguing about drains, recycling contracts, SEND provision, parking permits and social care budgets.
Welcome to local government.
The boats are in Kent. The bins are in your ward.
You can find your ward councillor’s email address on your local council website.

@cmsdengl@mas.to particularly for road / street defects its also worth reporting them first using the website map (most Councils have them) and *then* emailling the Councillor with the incident log number you get (and maybe any others in the same area), that way neither they nor the Council can just ignore the incident. In fact merely reporting them means the Council has to spend money doing admin work and investigating the incident which Reform hate doing, even if they find some excuse for not dealing with the actual problem..

@cmsdengl@mas.to maybe email them about the fly tipping of flags onto public property lampposts.
