Welcome to Monmouth Town Council

About Monmouth Town Council

The market town of Monmouth is situated on the South Wales border, by the banks of the River Wye.

The town has historic connections with early Roman and medieval times, and its most famous sons are Henry V and Charles Rolls, of Rolls-Royce fame. With a current population of 10,000 it has easy access to Cardiff, Bristol and the Midlands via motorway links.

Monmouth Town Council is the tier of local government closest to the community and represents the views and interests of the people of Monmouth to other authorities including Monmouthshire County Council, the Police, the Welsh Government and others. The Council also has a number of other functions which involve community and environmental matters.

We hope this website will provide useful information on Monmouth and the Town Council.
