Crickhowell Town Council consists of a maximum of twelve elected Councillors who represent the local community. They meet formally for Full Council on the third Tuesday of every month to discuss the town, concerns and queries from residents and businesses, as well as any on-going projects. We warm-heartedly welcome and encourage members of the public to attend. Alongside Full Council, Councillors are also members of different sub-committees, working groups and represent the Council at external organisations and events.
Crickhowell Town Council is part of the 'Five Councils' ward area. As well as Crickhowell, this includes, Llangattock, Llangynidr, Cwmdu and The Vale of Grwyney. We firmly believe that working together we can achieve the best for our local communities.
The Councillors have a huge variety of expertise and knowledge and are passionate about Crickhowell. They aim to make our beautiful town as vibrant, dynamic, and environmentally friendly and sustainable as possible whilst maintaining its wonderfully distinct character. If you have any queries, or would like to get involved in any way, then please get in contact with us here: clerk@crickhowelltowncouncil.gov.uk

Crickhowell Town Council meets every month except August. Full Council meetings are generally held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. A Committee meeting is usually held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, rotating between the committees.
All meetings are held in the CRIC Conference Room and are open to the public. It is also possible to join the meetings virtually – if you wish to join remotely please email the clerk 48 hours before the meeting for login details: contact@crickhowelltowncouncil.gov.uk.
The agenda for each meeting can be seen in the bus stop noticeboard 3 calendar days before the meeting as well as below.
Members of the public have a legal right to attend decision-making meetings of the Council and its committees, except where they are excluded for specific items which need to be discussed in confidence (e.g. staffing matters or tenders for contracts).
Members of the public have no legal right to speak at meetings of the Council or its committees and so when they are allowed to do so it is considered a privilege. The Council sets aside time for public participation during which members of the public may make a representation, contribution, suggestion, or ask a question.
The Chair will allow members of the public who are present to ask questions of the Council, if any indicate a wish to do so. Written notice of a question may be submitted no later than 24 hours before a meeting to the Clerk via email: contact@crickhowelltowncouncil.gov.uk. Question time will not normally last more than 15 minutes maximum. Oral questions should take no longer than 30 seconds to ask. All questions must be addressed through the Chair. No debate will be permitted.
