Who we are & what we do
Brackley Town Council
Brackley Town Council is made up of 16 Councillors, from Brackley's four wards – North, South, East and West. Councillors are elected every four years to represent their particular Wards. The most recent election was held on 7th May 2021.
More information about Brackley Town Councillors
All Town Councillors are volunteers, and receive no payment.
Although described as a Town Council, Brackley Town Council is classified as a Parish Council and has the same status in relation to the other tiers of local government as the many smaller Parish Councils in the surrounding villages.
This means it can be difficult to know which tier of Council is responsible for services. For example West Northamptonshire Council is the local Planning Authority and makes all planning decisions whilst Brackley Town Council has a consultative role.
Included in Brackley Town Council's responsibilities are the installation and upkeep of our many Play Spaces; maintenance of green spaces (some of which are owned by the Council whilst others are maintained on behalf of other bodies which contribute to the cost) and the maintenance of our many dog waste bins.
The Town Clerk's Office is located at 20 High Street, Brackley NN13 7DS.
Council Meetings are held in The Civic Hall, Brackley Town Hall, Market Place on the 1st Monday on each month. Committee Meetings are generally held on 3rd Monday of each month - see the diary of meetings for more information.
Residents are welcome to attend all meetings of the Council and it's committees. If you wish to attend a meeting and ask questions of councillors you can find more information here

The Town Mayor acts as Chairman and presides at full meetings of the Town Council. Robes and full civic insignia are worn at these meetings and the presence of the Mace indicates that the Town Mayor is present in her/his official capacity. As Chairman, the Town Mayor has control of full council meeting procedures ensuring compliance with the law and good order.
The Town Mayor will attend Civic Events held throughout the year such the Remembrance Service and Parade, Civic Service and Community Carols. It is also usual that the Town Mayor will nominate local charities and/or organisations to benefit from fund raising activities during their term of office.
