It was established in 1974 as a successor council to the Knutsford Urban District Council. The Council last elections were held in May 2015 which saw the Conservative Party win 13 of the 15 seats. The Council is split into four wards, Nether (3), Norbury Booths (3), Over (6) and Bexton (3).[2] PrecursorThe Knutsford Urban District Council was an Urban District Council for the town of Knutsford, Cheshire from 1895 to 1974.[3] It was established in 1895 following the establishment and dissolution of parish councils created under the Local Government Act 1894 for Nether Knutsford and Over Knutsford.[4] The Urban District Council was dissolved in 1974 upon the creation of the Knutsford Town Council. Powers and functionsThe Town Council derives the bulk of its powers from the Local Government Act 1972 and subsequent legislation. The Council adopted the General Power of Competence in 2013[5] giving it a greater range of powers in line with the Localism Act 2011. The Town Council is a Market Authority, operating an Indoor Market Hall and licensing other markets within its boundary, including a monthly Maker's Market of artisan and local producers. The Town Council operates public toilets and Allotments and is seeking to take ownership of the Council Offices and certain open spaces from Cheshire East Council[6] Town MayorAt its inception the newly formed Town Council resolved that the Chairman be styled Town Mayor.[7] The Mayor is elected annually at the Annual Council Meeting in May. The incumbent is Cllr Peter Coan who took office in May 2018 and is supported by Deputy Town Mayor Cllr Andrew Malloy. The Mayor's role is largely ambassadorial, attending community events, opening shops and businesses and acting as a representative of the town in neighbouring areas. The Mayor also hosts a number of fundraising events throughout the year raising money for chosen charities.
