The Town Council is a democratically elected form of government for small parishes. A council may serve as both the representative and executive branch.

Depending upon local laws and regulations, Town Councils usually self-organise and elect a leader to set the agenda of their governing body.
 

This leader in Witney is granted the title of Town Mayor.
