Tickenham Parish Council has been in existence for eighty four years and before that the Parish Meeting for a further twenty nine years! Many things have improved over that time and the Council continues to consider a variety of issues affecting the village, not least planning applications and highways issues. There is much variety and some frustrations but being a parish councillor is a commitment to maintaining the ethos of the village.
Tickenham is served by North Somerset Council. Cllr Nigel Ashton holds surgery during the monthly Village Market (2nd Saturday of the month) in the village hall committee room, from 10.30am.
