About

Calderdale Council is composed of 54 councillors with one-third elected three years in four. The Labour Group is the official opposition with 8 Councillors.

Our Labour councillors are active in their local communities and act as the voice of their constituents, raising any local concerns within the Council on a range of matters related to the work of the Council.

With the previous Tory Government’s cuts to local government, being a councillor is one of the toughest – and most important – jobs in politics today. Despite difficult circumstances, Calderdale Labour councillors work hard to prioritise communities, protect vital public services and help people in need.
