Responsibilities
Community Councils provide the statutory tier of local government closest to the people. We act in the interest of the whole community by making decisions and recommendations to improve quality of life and the environment. Consulting and listening to the residents to understand their needs, their wishes and their concerns is an essential aspect of our work. Llanfaelog Community Council is served by 12 Community Councillors who represent the interest of the residents of Llanfaelog, Rhosneigr, Ty Croes, Bryn du and Pencarnisiog.
They are elected by local residents and our period of office is normally four years. These elections are held in May at the same time as other local/general elections. Any vacancies that occur between elections (for example, by the resignation of a councillor) are advertised and filled by election or co-option.
The Community Council Clerk is employed by the council, she is also the Proper Officer and Responsible Finance Officer and carries out statutory functions on behalf of the Council.
