Berwick-upon-Tweed Town Council Information Pages
Berwick-upon-Tweed Town Council was created on 3rd March 2008 and has 16 voluntary Councillors who represent 7 wards covering Berwick, Tweedmouth and Spittal, which have a combined population of about 11,500.
The Council meets in Berwick's Town Hall every two months. In addition there are committees which focus on Planning, Finance & Resources, Environment & Regeneration and Events.
The aim of the Town Council is to find ways of improving services and facilities for Berwick, Spittal and Tweedmouth. By providing grants it helps local community groups with projects and events. Members also try and ensure the community's interests are considered by other local and regionally bodies.
The Chair of the Town Council is also the Town Mayor who carries out a range of civic duties during the year. The Civic Party is made up of the Town Mayor, Mayoress (or Mayor's Consort), the Sheriff and Sheriff's Lady. The Town Council is staffed by a Town Clerk and an Assistant to the Clerk who are based in The Chandlery on Berwick's Quayside (see below for contact details).
