Cirencester Town Council is honoured to serve the community of Cirencester; a large Market Town with a population of around 20k.
The Council is a corporate body made up of 16 elected and co-opted Councillors, it is ‘apolitical’ and encourages a culture of collaborative working across the political spectrum, with officers and Councillors working together; welcoming participatory involvement from the community.
Cirencester is renowned as the capital of the Cotswolds with an incredible history, individual food, independent shops and inspirational events – it is evolving as a destination and we are building on the community plan’s ‘Our Future Cirencester’ aspiration of being:
• a sustainable market town;
• a good place in which to grow up;
• an attractive town to live in, visit and where we can enjoy a vibrant culture;
• a better place in which to do business.
Sustainability in all senses of the word, and our response to the climate emergency, underpins our vision and values as an organisation.
In all we do, we want to:
• create a sense of civic pride and support those in need;
• build strength and resilience through a thriving community;
• be a voice and advocate for the people and place of Cirencester;
• take the lead, being in-tune with the democracy and community needs of our time and future;
• be a conduit for, and humanitarian in, helping residents.
