Your Councillors
Councillors are elected to represent parish. They are elected by the public every four years. All parish councils must complete a register of interests form to register their financial and other interests.

Christian Butler
Councillor
Christian moved to Bolingey in 2024, though Cornwall, especially this area, has been a major part of his life for over 20 years. Through running a local conservation-focused tree care business, as well as being active in the community socially, he has built strong connections with a wide range of people across the parish and surrounding areas. Christian has said that these experiences give him a grounded understanding of local concerns and community views. Christian wants to help ensure local people’s voices are properly heard and to strengthen the connection between the council and the community it represents.
