A FOI (Freedom of Information) request has revealed how many Member (Councillor) enquiries were received between 6 May 2020 and 6 May 2021 from Members of the Council. The council does not record policy enquiries made by Councillors and these figures do not represent all of the casework that members undertake, only that which is logged through the member enquiries system.

Note: Ex Council Leader Cllr Stephen Alambritis was paid as a full-time member of staff for Merton Council until 18 November, his enquiries has been assigned to Ravensbury Ward but could apply to any of the 20 wards. The same applies to his successor the new Council Leader Cllr Mark Allision where his enquiries have been assigned to Lavender Fields Ward.
Being a Cabinet Member should also skew these figures.
Each ward has three Councillors, the three* individual member enquires has been combined to show by ward the number locally.
