Congleton Town Council

Council meetings are formal events held at the Town Hall, High Street, Congleton that all councillors are expected to attend. They usually start at 7.15pm. The elected Mayor is chairman of the Council during his year of office.

The meetings are open to the public except where sensitive issues are discussed (such as legal, contractual or staffing matters). Congleton Town Council chooses to have a committee system whereby a smaller group of councillors, usually 8 or 9 concentrate on specific functions and either make recommendations to full council or have delegated powers to make their own decisions.
