The Town Council comprises of 13 councillors who represent the 7 wards into which the town is divided. They meet as a council approximately every 7 weeks but also meet more regularly in smaller groups called committees which deal with matters in more detail. Councillors are ultimately responsible for the activities of the council, which are delivered by a paid staff. They are elected every 4 years and in addition to administering the affairs of the council, deal with a multitude of matters in their ward on behalf of residents.
Allowances
Although parish and town councillors are permitted in law to claim an allowance, Alton Town Councillors have resolved not to claim such allowances. The Town Mayor, however, is entitled to claim an allowance (currently £4,000 per annum) from which they meet the cost of such events as the Civic Reception and also to assist the cost of travelling to and from, and other incidentals, whilst they are undertaking their extensive duties on behalf of the Council and Town.
