Each year, your town councillors give up hundreds of hours of their free time in the service of the community. They can claim expenses for travel on Council business, but otherwise, being a town councillor is comparable to being a volunteer.
They represent a wide variety of skills and talents and their mission is to help Burnham be the best it possibly can.
Meetings and Committees
The councillors meet at least once a month for council meetings, to which the public is invited.
They also meet regularly to consider Planning applications, and, often in smaller groups, attend Committees, working groups and local volunteer groups.
