Welcome to Aylsham Town Council.

The Council serves a population of 6000 people in the Norfolk town of Aylsham.  There are 13 Councillors, who represent the whole town (no wards).

Services provided by the Town Council include: allotments (2 sites), street lighting, public toilets, cemetery, maintenance of the closed churchyard, recreation ground, amenity areas,christmas lights, use of the town hall as a community hall, Monday and Friday markets, and  Farmers Markets on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays each month.  Additionally, the Council undertakes other functions via Agency Agreements with District and County Councils, including monitoring car parks, street cleaning and litter collection, and Highway verge cutting.

Assisted by a dedicated group of volunteers led by Lloyd Mills, Hon. Archivist, the Town Council has responsibility for the Aylsham Archive, a wonderful collection of printed material and artefacts spanning over 200 years.  The Archive is usually open each Tuesday morning from 10a.m. to 12noon - but please check with the Council office first.  We are currently developing a dedicated Archive section on this website, but please bear with us in the meantime.

The Council was awarded Quality Council Status in June 2008 following the submission of a portfolio of evidence under several sections, which when combined, proved that the Council is well placed to take on an enhanced role and any additional responsibilities - very important in the current climate of local government re-organisation.

Aylsham was awarded Cittaslow status in November 2004, and became a member of the international network of towns "where the living is good" - nothing to do with "slow" other than in the "quality" sense, a town that cares about quality of life for its residents and visitors.
More information about Cittaslow and the Cittaslow Community Events Committee can be found on the relevant pages.
