Holyhead Town Council is an elected community council serving the town of Holyhead in Anglesey, Wales.

Background

Holyhead Town Council was created in 1974 with the demise of Holyhead Urban District Council and transfer of many of its powers to Anglesey Borough Council (later Isle of Anglesey County Council).[1]

The town council's responsibilities include maintaining the town's six playing fields, Maeshyfryd Cemetery, allotments, bus shelters, noticeboards, as well as the left luggage facilities at the port.[2] The council manages the Town Hall and has leased the old Empire Cinema building to create a Soft Play Centre and a Laser Quest for children. [2] In 2017 the Town Council took over Holyhead's Pavilion and park from Anglesey County Council. By January 2019 a skatepark, as well as a bike track, tennis and basketball courts and bowling greens had been made available to the public. [3]

Dissolution threat

Despite being commended by auditors, in 2013 the town council was threatened with a call for its dissolution, by campaigners from Newry Waterfront Action Group. The group claimed the town council didn't represent the views of the town on major development projects.[4] Parc a'r Mynydd councillor Shaun Redmond resigned in May 2016 to support the campaign.[5] In November 2016 the Wales Audit Office and the Public Service Ombudsman for Wales rejected Redmond's accusations of corruption and decided there was no evidence of criminality.[6]

Representation

Sixteen councillors are elected from the seven community electoral wards in the town, namely: Kingsland (2), London Road (2), Maeshyfryd (3), Morawelon (2), Parc a'r Mynydd (2), Porth Y felin (3) and Town (2). [7]

Mayor

The council elects a mayor and deputy mayor annually. [8]
