The historic market town of Ross-on-Wye stands high on a sandstone bluff overlooking a horseshoe bend in the River Wye. The view is dominated by the spire of St Mary’s Church which is illuminated at night and can be seen for many miles. Above all, Ross-on-Wye Town Council is a parish council serving the people of Ross-on-Wye. Most importantly, we want to maintain and improve the quality of life in the historic market town of Ross-on-Wye because we are passionate about ensuring the town is a vibrant place for residents, businesses and visitors.
Altogether the Town Council is comprised of eighteen councillors representing the town’s three wards: North, East and West. Town Councillors are supported by officers based at the Corn Exchange, High Street, Ross-on-Wye.
Firstly, we provide and maintain a number of local services. For instance, the bandstand, arboretum and flower tubs. Secondly we are proactive in promoting and encouraging tourism to the town. E.g. visitors continue to enjoy the River Wye, independent shops and attractive streets. Thirdly, we also run the town’s regular Thursday and Saturday markets, which take place under the Market House.
In addition, the Council played a huge role in producing the Neighbourhood Development Plan.
