Town and community councils represent individual communities or towns within a county. They have legal powers to provide some services, but have fewer duties than county councils or county borough councils (also known as local authorities).
Councils must work in partnership to ensure the best services and outcomes for citizens.
Locally there are 40 town and community councils serving Anglesey communities, contact details of the individual councils are availble on our website.

Contact forum
The Contact Forum is a meeting between Anglesey County Council and the island's town and community councils. The main purpose of the forum is to facilitate communication and sharing of information and good practice.
The aim is to hold four liaison meetings each financial year with representatives of each town and community council who wish to participate.

Would you like to be a councillor?
- Is there something you'd like to change about your local community?
- Is there something troubling you about your local community?
- Are you able to make challenging decisions?
Councillors are people who are elected to represent their community following an election. Councillors can act on a county council or county borough, such as Anglesey County Council, or as part of a town and community council.
Once elected as a councillor, you can represent the people in your community and make decisions on their behalf. It can be a very challenging role, but it's also very rewarding if you're passionate about your community.
