Reigate 

Sorry, we do not have a URL for Reigate Town Website

The town of Reigate is an urban area that is larger than a village but smaller than a city. Unless Reigate grows to a size where it is elevated to a higher administrative status it is effectively a parish but to differentiate between the two at the turn of the last century towns were granted the right to allow their elected representatives call themselves a "Town Council" and to, from their number, elect a Mayor. Other than that they have the same legal rights and responsibilities as a Parish Council.

The Town Councils have many powers and some duties. (Cf. The Good Councillors Guide).

An example of a power is the one that allows the purchase and operation of street lighting. One duty requires the council to open the meetings to the press and public, with few exceptions. They manage local amenities in Reigate and have a watching brief on local issues and their opinion is noted by those higher authorities in matters concerning them such as local planning issues.
