We believe it is a healthy and essential function for members of the public to contact the people who are making laws and decisions on their behalf. Therefore, we’re listing contact information and social media pages (although some may not be present or active on all platforms) on our site.
These local government pages also have some info about how each governing body works, where to find their meeting agendas, previous meetings and more.
