New Mills Town Council has 12 member Councillors, who are elected every 4 years in the wards of Ollersett, Whitle and Thornsett.
Following the elections in May 2007 there are 10 Liberal Democrat, 1 Conservative and 1 Independent Town Councillors.
Four of the Town Councillors are also on High Peak Borough Council. The Councillors are also Trustees of the Town Public Hall.
Alistair Stevens (above) is Chair of the Town Council and the Liberal Democrat Councillor - Ollersett Ward.
Full meetings of the Town Council are held around every six weeks, with a meeting of either the Leisure and Parks Committee or the Welfare and Administration Committee in between.
These meetings are generally on Mondays from 7.30pm in the Council Chamber. The public may attend, but not participate without prior consent.
The Annual Meeting of the Town Council must be held in May.
Distinct from this is the Annual Town Meeting at which any registered elector may speak and vote.
