Would a councilor from an opposition party who represented one ward

seat (or whatever it's called in Local elections)?


Of course, because he's a councillor and they are not.


Do representatives from the other parties still turn up to important
meetings?


Assuming you mean council meetings, only if they are councillors and are
memebers of the committee that is having a meeting.


Council meetings are held in public.
