Burntwood Town Council is one of the largest Town Council’s in the country with a rising population approaching 30,000 according to the 2001 Census.

The Town Council has the same functions as a Parish Council, including consultation and recommendation on planning applications, grant aid and championing the cause of local organisations or groups where support is needed for the benefit of the community. The Town Council places great emphasis on community safety and has been at the forefront of establishing and funding many projects including new street lighting, CCTV and the Community Wardens.

The Council has 22 elected Members, who are elected for a four year term, and who cover seven individual wards. The Town Council meets six times per year and on such other occasions as are deemed necessary. There are ten meetings of the Planning Applications Committee, one meeting of the Grant Aid Committee and the Best Value Committee meets on an ad hoc basis.

Members of the public are welcome to attend meetings and further information, including the names and addresses of Councillors can be obtained by telephoning 01543 677166.
