Committee Structure
To help run council business more smoothly and to deliver best value for money, Marlborough Town Council has adopted a committee structure. Full Town Council (comprising all 16 Councillors) still makes the most important decisions such as setting the precept (local council tax) but, committees have delegated authority to make decisions in certain areas themselves. So, in addition to the Full Town Council, there are five Committees:
- Planning
- Finance and Policy
- Amenities and Open Spaces
- Property
- Staffing
As business demands it, there may be issues that require further focus or expertise and Full Council or one of its Committees may establish Working Parties. These can include Town Councillors, experts, advisors and members of the public. These are set up in an advisory capacity only and can only made recommendations to Full Council or Committee.
All meetings of the Town Council and its 5 committees are open to the public and press, except where confidential items are being discussed, and each meeting starts with

Friends of the Victorian Cemetery Article Count: 3
The Friends of the Victorian Cemetery was set up in 2014 by then-Deputy Mayor, Councillor Margaret Rose. From then and through 2015 a small, enthusiastic group of volunteers, supported by Marlborough Town Council's Grounds & Estates Manager Richard Beale, met on the second Sunday of every month to clear vegetation, prune shrubs, plant wildflowers and have a general tidy-up.
For the second year running Cllr Rose, who was Town Mayor for 2015-16, was hoping the judges for South West in Bloom would be impressed. The environment improved all the time and the volunteers planted wild flowers such as primroses and foxgloves. And the judges were impressed! The Victorian Cemetery was awarded a 'Thriving' certificate in the 'It's Your Neighbourhood' category in 2015.
The Friends are still going, so if you'd like to get involved or would like more information please contact Cllr. Rose directly.

We aim to use a range of methods – face to face, online, paper surveys and social media.
