Ludlow has been heralded as a ''magical market town''
by development agency Advantage West Midland

"...it's easy to see why so many people fall in love with Ludlow."


The historic market town of Ludlow is celebrated for its distinctive individual charm.  Ludlow Town Council (LTC) is proud to be actively involved in many new and established initiatives in Ludlow.  Housed in the historic Buttercross, LTC offices stand in the center of Ludlow.  A town that still retains elements of its original medieval layout and nearly five hundred listed buildings.  Arguably, the most famous is the magnificently preserved ruin of Ludlow Castle dating from 1085.

  How your Town Council works for you!Ludlow Market

Town and Parish Councils are the first and most local and accessible tier of government.  

Ludlow Town Council has fifteen Councillors serving seven Wards.

The Full Council of fifteen members meet every six weeks. Smaller groups of memebers also meet monthly in Committees, which focus on issues relating to Policy and Finance; Council Services; Planning, Grants and other organisations.

Town Councillors discuss local issues, and make locally focused policy and decisions.  Meetings are held at Ludlow Confernece Centre (formerly the Bishop mascall Centre) and open to members of the public, who can address the meeting in the public session at the beginning of the meeting. Current agendas are available from the 'Your Council' section of this website.

As well as listening to the concerns of residents of each ward, Ludlow Town Council is responsible for providing a range of services, which are managed and delivered by the Town Clerk and Town Council Staff. 

Local services provided include:

Street lighting
Ludlow Market
Henley Road Cemetery
Recreation Areas & Castle Gardens 

Ludlow Town Council staff and councillors also work in partnership with a number of Community Groups working for the enhancement and benefit of Ludlow.
