Be a Councillor Campaign Survey

Overview

The Be a Councillor Campaign is designed to encourage and support Birmingham residents who are interested in pursuing a role as a councillor. 

We are conducting a survey to gain insight into the support Birmingham residents may require if they choose to represent their local community as a local ward Councillor.  Your feedback will help us shape future sessions for the Be a Councillor Campaign to ensure the sessions are as useful as possible.  

Data may be shared in internal and external reports with teams within Birmingham City Council and Local Government Authority (LGA). Findings from the survey may be used for promotional materials. No information will be reported or published that will enable an individual to be identified. Any personal data collected will be handled in accordance with the Birmingham City Council Privacy Policy: https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/info/50333/privacy/2926/privacy_statement

Coming Soon: Be a Councillor Briefing Sessions – Autumn 2025

We’ll be hosting a series of free briefing sessions in September and October 2025 (exact dates and venues to be confirmed). Each session will last around three hours and will provide:

• A detailed overview of what it’s like to be a councillor
• Practical information about the role and responsibilities
• A chance to meet local councillors and ask your questions directly

If you're interested in taking the next step towards becoming a councillor, please email us at BAC@birmingham.gov.uk with your full name and contact email address, and we’ll get in touch with more details.

We look forward to hearing from you.
