Knaresborough Town Council is a parish council that has, like many of the large urban parishes, resolved to be known as a Town Council, which carries the right to a Town Mayor instead of a chairman.
Knaresborough is one of the 143 parishes within the Harrogate Borough Council area, which includes Ripon, Pateley Bridge and Boroughbridge. The Town Council has 15 members (councillors) with 5 councillors representing each of the three wards in the town, Knaresborough King James, Knaresborough East Ward and Knaresborough Scriven Park Ward. Elections for the council are held every four years when all of the seats are open to be contested. Town and parish councils have a limited range of powers but are consulted about, and can influence decisions on, a wide range of functions and services outside their control.
