About Chippenham Town Council

We have 24 Councillors representing eight wards who are elected every four years.

The Councillors set the budget, decide the strategy and actions and how money is spent. Each May, a Mayor and Deputy Mayor are elected. The mayor is the town’s first citizen and ambassador at public, civic and ceremonial events. To find the current list of Town Councillors, please click here.

Council and sub-committee meetings are held at the Town Hall and are open for members of the public to come along. We have a 30-minute open session at the beginning of our meetings where you can raise issues and ask questions.
