Your Council

Great Ayton Parish Council is a civil local authority consisting of local volunteers with a passion for their community. We look after a wide range of areas including maintenance of our open spaces, community buildings, allotments, cemetery and play park.

The work of the Parish Council falls into three main categories; delivery of services, improving the quality of life, and giving communities a democratic voice. A local councillor is a voice for their community and acts as community leaders who represent the interests of the communities they serve. Local councillors have three main responsibilities; decision-making, monitoring and getting involved locally.
