Who we are...

A brief history...

In 1974 West Wiltshire District Council was formed. It was made up of seven smaller urban and rural district councils, one of which was Melksham Urban District Council. These have all now disappeared, and the five Urban District Councils, including Melksham, have become the five Town Councils of West Wiltshire, which continues to this day.

Melksham Town Council currently has 15 elected members. The most recent town council elections took place in May 2021. The unitary authority, Wiltshire Council was formed from the merger of the County Council and four District Councils.
