Parish and town councils form the grassroots and
foundation of democracy across North Somerset.
They are run by locally-elected councillors who represent
the 39 parish and town areas across the district.
There are four town councils based in Clevedon, Nailsea,
Portishead and Weston-super-Mare.
The rest are made up of rural parish councils representing the many
villages and small towns which make up the rest of the region.
You can view the results for the latest town and parish
council elections.
