Who we are & what we do
Brackley Town Council
Brackley Town Council is made up of 15 Councillors, 5 each from Brackley's three Wards – South, West and East – each of which consists of approximately 3,000 voting residents. Councillors are elected every four years to represent their particular Wards. The most recent election was held on 7th May 2015.

All Town Councillors are volunteers, and receive no payment.
There are three tiers of local government in the County of Northamptonshire:
Northamptonshire County Council (NCC)
South Northamptonshire District Council (SNC)
Parish Councils
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 what. For example SNC is the local Planning Authority and makes all planning decisions whilst Brackley Town Council has a consultative role and NCC is responsible for all highways matters (including upkeep) and street lighting.
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 currently located at 9 Market Place in the the centre of Brackley town.
Council Meetings are currently held at The Old Fire Station, High Street (next to the Town Park) 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 its committees. If you wish to attend a meeting and ask questions of councillors you can find more information here
