Responsibilities are carried out by the Councillors individually and collectively. All Councillors are available to listen to the concerns of residents. If you wish to contact any of the Councillors directly please use the details below.
Councillors are publicly elected to serve a four-year term. Parish Councillors do not receive any payment for being elected members and offer their time voluntarily for the benefit of the local community. The Chair receives a small honorarium in place of expenses (£300 p.a. in 2020/21).
The Chair and Vice-Chair of the Parish Council are elected annually by other SPC Councillors at the Annual Parish Council meeting.

Councillors also attend one-off meetings, events and relevant training sessions.
Any complaints that a Parish Councillor may have breached Saltford Parish Council’s Code of Conduct should be sent direct to Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Standards Committee.
