Responsibilities

The primary purpose of the community council is to represent the interest of the residents of the community of Llanfaelog, Rhosneigr, Ty Croes, Bryn du, Pencarnisiog and surrounding area as shown on the map and to promote the wellbeing of the local area.

Llanfaelog Community Council comes under the Llifon Ward

Llifon Ward covers Llanfaelog, Llanfair-yn-neubwll and Valley Community Councils and is served by 2 County Councillors.

Llanfaelog Community Council is served by 12 Community Councillors.

6 that represent Rhosneigr and 6 Llanfaelog

They are elected by local residents and our period of office is normally four years. These elections are held in May at the same time as other local/general elections. Any vacancies that occur between elections (for example, by the resignation of a councillor) are advertised and filled by election or co-option.

Community Councils provide the statutory tier of local government closest to the people. We act in the interest of the whole community by making decisions and recommendations to improve quality of life and the environment. Consulting and listening to the residents to understand their needs, their wishes and their concerns is an essential aspect of our work.
