Councillors & Decisions

The Council is run by a mayor and 36 councillors who are elected by the residents of Torbay every 4 years.  They are responsible for making decisions on your behalf about services provided by the Council.  As the Council is funded by public money, it has to make sure that the decisions it takes are available and accountable to the people it serves.
