Councillors

Introduction

An integral and vital part of the running of South Ayrshire Council are the elected councillors who represent the 8 electoral wards.

The Councillors are responsible for policy decision-making on all aspects of Local Government services which South Ayrshire Council is responsible for.

Councillors attend committee meetings throughout the Council's cycle of formal meetings. They attend the full meetings of South Ayrshire Council held every 8 weeks. They also represent the people of South Ayrshire on a wide range of bodies and trusts.

Your local Councillor can be contacted in writing at County Buildings, Wellington Square, Ayr KA7 1DR or in person at regular Councillor Surgeries.
