About the Council
Tidworth Town Council is a corporate body with a legal existence and its decisions are the responsibility of the whole body. The Town Council has been granted powers by Parliament including the important authority to raise money through taxation (the precept) and a range of powers to spend public money. Its members are either elected every four years, returned unopposed or co-opted to fill a vacant seat.
The councillors play a vital part in representing the interests of the community they serve and improve the quality of life and local environment. Furthermore they influence other decision makers and can, in many cases deliver services to meet local needs such as planning, street lighting, cemeteries, playing fields, community centres, litter, war memorials, seats, bus shelters, and rights of way.
Town Council meetings are held on the 1st Tuesday of the month in Tidworth Community Centre, Wylye Rd, Tidoworth, commencing 7-00pm. These meetings are open to the public and press with the opportunity for members of the public to ask questions during the first 20minutes at the beginning of every meeting.

PRECEPT 2011/2012
How your council tax is spent in Tidworth for financial year 2011/2012 - Tidworth Town Council decided to limit the precept increase to 3%, resulting in a band D property paying £66.89p per year, an increase of £1-56p per year. Whilst recognising the current economic climate we believe we should continue to improve Tidworth for the benefit of its residents.
Tidworth TC delivers the following services: ongoing repairs and maintenance of existing assets, a grounds maintenance contract for the upkeep of the civilian cemetery, two play areas, one recreation ground and other amenity land. To comply with the Disabled Discrimination Act a portable hearing loop for the Community Centre has recently been purchased.
We have two major projects in progress at the moment. The first is developing a sports ground at Humber Lane, and we are proceeding at best speed with this much needed facility. The second project is investigating how we can replace the much used pre-fabricated Community Centre with a more permanent brick structure. This should come to fruition within the next few years.
