Would a councilor from an opposition party who represented one ward

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

Ok.

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.

Ok.

So outside of that, what other routes of 'objection' or 'favour' are
there to joe public?

Why couldn't you (individually or as a group) contact the council
directly, if all the councilors are there for is to act as a middle
man?

I have contacted the local council directly on all sorts of matters
and they have mostly been resolved (action or reason why not) to my
satisfaction?
