About us
Hay Town Council has 11 councillors (when there are no vacancies) and one member of administrative staff. The Mayor, who is also the leader of the council, is chosen by the councillors.
The full council meets monthly, usually on the first Monday of the month, unless this falls on a Bank Holiday. The council also has a number of sub committees who meet every 1-2 months depending on requirements. Where possible we allocate councillors to sub committees that make the best use of their knowledge and experience.
The operation of the council is governed by a set of Standing Orders that cover, for example. how often the council meets and the conduct of meetings. Councillors are also governed by a set of Financial Regulations which provide guidance on accounting procedures and how councils may spend their money.
The Council also employs one member of staff, our Town Clerk and Responsible Financial Officer.
