Newent Town Council seeks to work together with the local community to support the development of a sustainable economy and to promote the wellbeing of all who live, work and study here. 

 
 
 
 
 
We are proud to work on behalf of Newent and Cliffords Mesne residents and visitors to the town. 
 
The Full Council normally meets on the fourth Monday of every month (except August) at 7.30pm at Newent Community School. Committee meetings are also held throughout the month. 
 
Agendas are posted on the noticeboard under the Market House and the Council's website prior to the meeting. See our Meetings page: https://www.newenttowncouncil.org.uk/meeting-minutes-agendas/. Please note that meetings can be subject to change at short notice. 
 
Members of the public are welcome to speak in the Public Participation session immediately prior to the start of each council meeting.

A picturesque and landscaped 4 acre fresh water fishing lake located in the centre of Newent town.
