Cambourne is a vibrant community and it is our intention to enable more residents to play an active role in the community, through participation in community events and activities, volunteering, attendance at Town Council meetings, ideas for community development, or simply taking advantage of our excellent community and sports facilities within the villages.

The Town Council has 19 councillors (all volunteers) and meets on the first Tuesday of the month (with the exception of August in which there is no meeting). In addition to full council, duties and powers have been delegated to three committees. See About the Council for more information.
