Councillors

Councillors are elected by you, the local community, and are responsible for making decisions on your behalf about local services.

South Lanarkshire Council comprises 64 councillors, each representing one of 20 multi-member electoral wards. Each ward has 3 or 4 councillors.

Provost:   Councillor Margaret Cooper
