It is important to us here at Market Weighton Town Council to keep the local people updated, whether this be about recent road closures, or upcoming events. We will be posting regular updates to ensure that our community is always up to speed with what is going on our town.
It is essential to Market Weighton Town Council to provide and support the local community. We have various community lead groups that you are welcome to join. Market Weighton also has a variety of local walks that are great for all the family, alongside plenty of local businesses.
All councils of a certain size must publicise their financial documents for public view in order to adhere to the Local Government Transparency Code 2015. This is aimed at making it easier for you, the local people, to contribute to local decision making and increase our democratic accountability.
As its name suggests, Market Weighton is a thriving market town in the heart of East Yorkshire with picturesque Georgian and Victorian streets, a town green with duck pond, and pleasant walks around the area. The town’s most famous resident was William Bradley. He was born in 1787, and grew to the staggering height of 7 feet 9 inches, making him, to this day, England’s tallest man.
Market Weighton Town Council aims to maintain a good quality of life for town residents of all ages. It supports activities which attract visitors thereby making the town sustainable. The current Electorate of Market Weighton is 5,344.
The Council consists of 13 councillors who were elected in May 2023. In the Town Hall there is a Town Clerk and Administration Officer
