Elected representatives

Your Councillors

Ipswich Borough Council has a Labour administration. The Leader and Cabinet together are the Executive, comprising the Leader, Deputy Leader and six councillors.

These councillors are responsible for agreeing policies about provision of services and how the Council's money is spent. They are also there to represent the views and opinions of individuals.

Details of Councillor Committees are available in the Council Meetings and Minutes section of this website, including a schedule of meetings for the year, details of Committee membership, and meeting papers.

If you have any difficulties that you think the Council could help solve, you can contact one of your local councillors to discuss it with them and see what can be done. Contact details for all Ipswich Borough Councillors are available on our Local Councillors page. You can search for the councillors in your area by name, party, ward or postcode.
