Ross-on-Wye Town Council was established in 1974 following the introduction of the Local Government Act 1972.

It underwent further changes in 2015 after a boundary review resulted in its amalgamation with Ross Rural Parish Council.

It is comprised of eighteen councillors representing the town’s three wards: North, East and West.

The councillors have been elected by the residents to represent their interests on matters which affect the town. To achieve this, councillors strive to improve services and amenities for both the residents and visitors.

Town Councillors are supported by officers based at the Town Hall, Cantilupe Road, Ross-on-Wye, HR9 7AN.
