Many people turn to their councillor for advice and help on various issues relating to the services provided by the council. He or she will be happy to do all they can to help you bring any problems of this nature to a satisfactory conclusion.
As a member of Salford City Council a councillor has to consider not just the interests of the local community but also what is in the best interests of the city as a whole.
Not only do councillors represent you at council meetings; many are also appointed to represent Salford's interests in organisations ranging from local voluntary groups to the body responsible for planning at a regional level. The city council also has representatives on many public bodies such as the Greater Manchester Police Authority.
Often people will consult councillors seeking assistance on issues or problems that are not necessarily the responsibility of the city council. Your city councillor will always do what they can to put you in touch with the right person or organisation to help you sort out your problem.
Councillors are expected and required to act with integrity and in a way that can give no grounds for suspicion of partiality, self-interest or corruption. Councillors should always give the highest possible standard of service to members of the public, and there are codes of conduct which councillors must follow. These codes cover important issues such as declarations of interest and involvements, and about not using information for personal gain.
If you believe you have evidence of improper or corrupt behaviour by a city councillor or an employee of the city Council, you can report it online at www.salford.gov.uk/antifraud or telephone 0808-100 1235. Alternatively write in confidence to Barbara Spicer, Chief Executive, Salford City Council, Salford Civic Centre, Chorley Road, Swinton, M27 5DA.
