ONS places a whole postcode in one council, one ward and one constituency, from a single point. A few postcodes cross a boundary, so an address at the edge can belong to the one next door. Your council tax bill or your poll card settles it for your address.
See the full check for WN2 2BJHow do I contact my local councillor?
Your council lists its councillors, each with an email address or phone number, and often when they hold a surgery. The link under your answer opens that list for your council.
Say which ward you live in and give your address, so the councillor knows you are someone they represent.
Which councillor should I contact?
Any of your ward’s councillors can help. They all represent everyone in the ward, whoever you voted for.
Start with the council that runs the service. Where there are two councils, rubbish collection, housing and planning applications belong to the district, borough or city council, and education, transport and social care belong to the county council, which has its own councillors.
See what each kind of council doesWhere do these names come from?
From Democracy Club, a non-profit that records every local election and by-election in the UK. For your ward we show the people elected at its most recent elections, enough to fill its seats, and anyone elected at a by-election since. We read their records on 27 October 2026 and hold councillors for 8,826 wards.
An election result does not change, but a councillor can stand down, or change party, before the next one. Your council’s own list is the current word.
How we use Democracy Club's recordsIs my MP my councillor?
No. A councillor sits on your local council and deals with local services. Your MP sits in Parliament for your constituency. A postcode page on this site names your MP.
