Falmouth Town Council is made up of sixteen elected and unpaid Members (Councillors).

Please note that this page and all information on our website related to Councillors is currently in the process of being updated following the election of new Councillors in the May 2025 elections. Information will be updated as soon as it is available.

Councillors are elected by residents to address the issues and concerns of residents in their ward (electoral division/area). 

There are four Town Council electoral wards in Falmouth:

  • Arwenack (x 4 Councillors)
  • Boslowick (x 4 Councillors)
  • Penwerris (x 5 Councillors)
  • Trescobeas (x 3 Councillors)

To find out which ward you live in, please click HERE to view Cornwall Council’s electoral map of Falmouth. Clicking where you live on the map will reveal which ward you live in.

Town Councillors are elected every four years. The last Town Council elections were held in May 2025 and the next Town Council elections are due to take place in early May 2029. Please visit our Elections page for more details on the election process including information on how to stand for Town Council.

What do Councillors do?

Councillors play a fundamental role in shaping the future of Falmouth by making crucial decisions that affect all residents. They do this through active engagement in constructive debates during Council meetings and committees.

Elected every four years by ward constituents, Councillors represent the views and address the concerns of the community. Their role is to ensure that residents’ voices are heard and considered in the decision-making process.

Councillors collaborate with Council Officers (staff) to deliver key services and projects. This partnership ensures that the town’s services are maintained and projects are completed to a high standard.

Serving as a Falmouth Town Councillor is a completely voluntary and unpaid role.

Councillor Code of Conduct

All Councillors are governed by a Code of Conduct which outlines the rules, responsibilities, and proper behaviours expected of them.

They must also declare any personal and/or financial interests that might influence their decisions as an elected Councillor – a register of these interests is available on Cornwall Council’s website under the heading ‘Town and Parish Council Information’ as well as in each of the Councillor’s profiles below.

Cornwall Council Representation

Each ward (electoral division/area) in Falmouth is represented at Cornwall Council by a Cornwall Councillor, providing continuity and ensuring Falmouth’s needs are advocated for at both local and county levels.
