Managing finances and household bills can be challenging, and unexpected costs can increase that burden. The cost of living crisis is affecting us all due to rising fuel, energy and food costs, but help is available….
We Want To Hear From You
We aim to be responsive and open to your suggestions, so please contact us with any issues or ideas you think that we can help with. As a Town Council, we work solely for the town of Barnstaple and want to deliver services and find ways that benefit and help the residents of Barnstaple, but also help improve the town for businesses and visitors too. This can include events, tidying and enhancing public spaces, such as Rock Park, promoting activities in Barnstaple and working with community groups. So get in touch with us through the contact us form or any other way that suits you and let us know how we can help.
Welcome to Barnstaple Town Council
The role of the Town Council is to ensure Barnstaple is a thriving community and a healthy, vibrant and attractive place in which to work, live and visit. The Town Council does this by working collaboratively, not only as an ambitious and committed team of Councillors and Officers, but also with a range of external strategic partners.
Barnstaple Town Council is a parish council, representing the first tier of local government and, as such, is “closer to residents” providing a wide range of services and facilities including the Rock Park, maintenance of green spaces and heritage and community activities.
The Town Council serves a community of approximately 24,000 residents. It consists of 24 Councillors elected for a term of four years who will now hold office until May 2023.
Barnstaple Town Council operates from its head office at Barum House, The Square and its staff and councillors are constantly striving to make the town a better place to live and to work.
