The Town Council was formed following Local Government reorganisation in 1974. It holds meetings at the Guildhall and consists of 15 Members serving Brecon’s four wards. Full Council meetings usually take place on the fourth Monday of each month in the Chamber commencing at 7.00pm. Standing committees include the Planning, Guildhall and Staffing Committee, the Environment and Events Committee and the Finance and Commissioning of Contracts Committee. Meetings are open to the public and press, and the minutes are available.
There are many artefacts on display in the Council Chamber, foyer and entrance hall depicting the Council’s link with Royalty, Military and their Twin Towns in America, France and Nepal.
