A town council is a local, elected body that can speak up for an area, help shape local priorities, and support neighbourhood projects and services. It is usually funded through a small addition to council tax, with that money spent in the area itself. This campaign is about whether the Jewellery Quarter should have one, what that could mean in practice, and how residents can explore the idea in more detail before sharing their view.
