Council meetings are held at the Town Hall at 7.30pm on the Tuesday following the 1st Monday of every month except August. There is a second meeting in January, a week after the normal meeting, in order to agree the budget for the following financial year. The meeting in May is taken up with the annual Mayor Making ceremony and reception. The May business meeting is held on the following Tuesday. Members of the public are welcome to attend any of these meetings.
Town Assembly - held annually on the Tuesday following the third Monday in March in the Civic Hall - You have to be there! In 2010 it will be on Tuesday 16th March, 7.30pm.
Mayor Making - The annual Mayor Making ceremony takes place at the May council meeting, Tuesday 5th May in 2009. This is followed by a reception in the Civic Hall for invited guests.
Council members and structure - There were 12 nominations for the election held on 1st May 2008. As this matched the number of seats all were deemed elected without the need for a poll. The town is divided into three Wards, East, West and Central Bollington, with four councillors each.
Ingersley Vale is accessible only from Bollington but most of it is actually in Rainow parish. Other premises on the east side of Bollington are also in Rainow parish. Rainow's Parish Councillor is:
