The Council
The Town Council consists of 19 councillors who represent 7 wards. Each year the council elects from their number a Town Mayor. The Council conducts its business through four programme committees:
- Planning
- Public Services
- Amenities and Tourism
- Finance and General Purposes
The Planning Committee meets every third week. Public Services, Amenities & Tourism and Finance and General Purposes meet at least four times a year, with Council meeting at least six times a year.
The Council fulfills a positive role at the heart of the Community. It is represented by individual members, who are elected annually on a significant number of outside groups and organisations.
