Llanigon CC is the tier of local government that is closest to our community. The 4/5-year electoral cycle gives the opportunity for 8 Community Councillors to stand for election. To fill any vacancies, Llanigon CC co-opts between elections.
Community Councillors are volunteers, have no delegated powers and equally share Llanigon CC decision making responsibilities. We are entitled to claim appropriate expenses but cannot be paid for our work.
Our Clerk is Llanigon CC’s only employee llanigoncc@hotmail.co.uk and progresses its decisions. As Responsible Financial Officer they manage the day-to-day financial affairs and general administration to meet with the legislative requirements and act as an advisor to the Council’s activity. Our volunteer internal auditor carries out an annual audit of the systems and procedures of the Council, in preparation for the external audit carried out annually by Welsh Government’s appointed auditors.
