The City Council plays a significant role in representing the voice of the city. We have made representations regarding, for example, the Local Plan and Structure Plan, rail services, postal services, parliamentary constituency boundaries, Police and Fire service provision and local government reorganisation.
The City Council is the only council serving the city area specifically. Its viewpoint can at times therefore be different from other councils who operate locally, and an important part of the Council's role is seeking to ensure that the needs of the city are given due prominence.
