Wallingford Town Council

Council Organisation

Wallingford Town Council is the parish authority for Wallingford, which has a population of over 11,600. The Town Council operates from the Council Offices in Castle Street and its 13 members of staff (a mixture of full and part-time roles) and 16 volunteer Town Councillors are working to make the town a better place to live and work.

How the Council is funded

Wallingford Town Council has been granted powers by Parliament to raise money through taxation, known as the precept. The precept is collected on behalf of the Town council by South Oxfordshire District Council (SODC) and is included in resident’s council tax bills.

The Town Council also receives income from grants and from renting properties in the Town. The income that is raised is used to improve the quality of life for the inhabitants and provide key local services.

More information about The Council’s financial management and expenditure can be found on the Town Council Finance Page.
