How your Town Council works for you!

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 members 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 Conference Centre (formerly the Bishop Mascall Centre) and are open to members of the public, who can address Councillors during the public session at the beginning of the meeting. Current agendas and minutes are available from the Committee pages.

The varied role of a town council means its work often becomes part of the fabric of the town.  To work well a town council needs to listen to the concerns of residents.  Ludlow town councillors and staff  work in partnership with a number of Community Groups - all working for the enhancement and benefit of Ludlow.

Ludlow Town Council also is responsible for providing a range of services (follow links below), which are managed and delivered by the 
Town Clerk and Town Council Staff. 

Councillors and Officers are servants of the public and they are indispensable to one another, but their responsibilities are distinct.

Councillors are responsible to the electorate and serve only so long as their term of office lasts.

Officers are responsible to the Council. Their job is to give advice to Councillors and the Council, and to carry out the Council's work under the direction and control of the Council, its committees and sub-committees.

Local services provided by Ludlow Town Council include:

Street lighting 'report a fault'

Recreation Areas & Castle Gardens

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.
