What we do
The town council serves the parish of Redruth, which is split into three wards: North, Central and South.
How the council works
Councillors and staff work together to carry out the Council’s legal duties. Most Council business takes place in committees.
Four committees meet regularly: Finance, Community, Asset Management and Staffing with monthly planning and full council meetings (except in August).
The Council can also set up working groups. These are usually less formal and are set up for specific projects. Members can include Councillors, staff and members of the public.
