During September 2021, Member Councillors were invited to complete a census using the same questions as in 2017 and 2019.

These give an indication of the personal characteristics of parish, town and community councillors in Northumberland and Newcastle in September 2021.

The results were presented at the Association AGM on 9 October 2021 and will be considered in more depth by the County Committee at a future meeting.

The documents are
