Petersfield Town Council (12 Members)
The running of the Town is vested in the District and Town Councils,
with the Town Council commenting on planning applications. The running
of The Festival Hall, Sheet Village Hall  and
the Avenue Pavilion are its responsibility and most importantly
it maintains The Heath and the Town’s recreation grounds.
The Town Council has been awarded Quality Council status as a result
of the efficiency of its workings and its acknowledgement of the
necessity of having good communications with its electors. There
are monthly meetings of the council (the first Monday in the month)
and the major committees meet every month with the exception of
August and December.
Of interest to the Town’s electorate is the quarterly newsletter
