Local Councillors
Problems with the Council? If you require help with a local problem that you cannot solve yourself, please ask the CGCA for help. With more than 27 years of experience and very good contacts with both Camden Council and Westminster City Council, we can often help.
Sometimes, however, when you realise that you are not making any progress, you may want to contact one or all of your local Councillors. If you live in the Camden part of Covent Garden you have 3 ward councillors, in Westminster you have 2. These ward councillors are your elected representatives, who can help and assist you with any Council-related matter. They have access to officers and documents at the Town Hall and can often be effective in resolving a difficult problem.
