The Town Council was formed in 1974 following reorganisation of Local Government and succeeded the former Urban District Council. There are 15 councillors representing the wards of Bexton, Nether, Over and Norbury Booths. The Town Mayor is elected annually at the first meeting in May. Councillors do not receive any payment for their role as councillor and give their time voluntarily for the benefit of the whole community. Although the Council has mainly advisory powers its members work to ensure that Local issues are properly understood at Borough and County level. It aims to enhance the quality of life for all residents of Knutsford through a range of initiatives within a realistic budget. The town council can be contacted via email on knutsford.tc@btopenworld.com
