There are ten members of Tedburn St Mary Parish Council, including the Chair, Cllr Louise Taylor, and the Vice Chair, Cllr Jonathan Putt.
As well as attending the meetings, the councillors also have designated responsibilities looking after a variety of things in the parish such as the maintenance of the Millennium Orchard and Play Area, the footpaths and bridleways, planning issues, the cemetery, etc.
Council Members are elected every four years, at the same time as the District Council elections take place. If a Councillor resigns during their term of office, the Parish Council has a statutory duty to advertise the vacancy and to notify the relevant officer at the District Council that this has been done. Unless ten parishioners request an election, the Parish Council is free to co-opt someone to fill the vacancy
