This is a letter of inquiry, not a complaint. It may be that I am simply behind the eight ball when it comes to modern communication methods.

That said, I can but wonder why, for the past ten years – and possibly longer – I have never been contacted by a councillor who represents the Richardson Ward.

There were several pamphlets left in our mailbox as the election approached, but no follow-up. There have been no visits, phone calls, councillor newsletters, or ward ratepayers meetings called before or after the August 2025 local government election. Apart from the Lord Mayor’s posts, I am unaware of any Facebook communication.

Are our councillors and the council largely non-communicative, or am I not looking in the right places for information?
