Welcome to Thornbury Town Council

Thornbury Town Council works on behalf of the local community to support, represent, and promote the interests of our town and its residents. Made up of 16 elected councillors who serve for four-year terms, the council works collectively to make decisions that shape the future of our community.

We look after a wide range of local services, facilities, and initiatives — from maintaining public spaces and supporting community events, to representing residents’ views in discussions with other authorities.

Our Chairman, who also serves as Mayor, represents the council at civic occasions and local events, helping to strengthen links across the community.

We are here to listen, respond, and work in partnership with residents, community groups, and businesses to ensure our town remains a great place to live, work, and visit.

As part of this process, we are seeking input from the wider community to help shape the future of this important local space.

Whether you are a skater, a parent, a resident or simply someone who values community facilities in Thornbury, we invite you to share your views.

Thank you to everyone who has completed the survey. If you haven't done it yet, please do take a few minutes to complete our short survey:
