Overview

Ever thought about making a difference in Birmingham?


The Be a Councillor campaign is here to inspire and support local residents who are passionate about creating change in their communities.

If you are passionate about your local community, we need you.

Councillors make a huge difference to the quality of life of local people and how local issues are dealt with. We need people from all backgrounds and experiences who reflect the communities they serve to put themselves forward for election.

Find out how you can be the voice of your neighbourhood.
