Redditch Borough Council

Redditch Borough Council is the local authority covering the non-metropolitan district centred on the town of Redditch.

In 2012 the Labour regained overall control of the borough council from the Conservatives. The current mayor for 2016-2017 is Joe Baker.

Redditch has its own Student Council, set up by the Borough Council in 1993 to help the Council to get in touch with young adults. The Student Council is made up by representatives from the four main High Schools. They are democratically elected every year.

In November 2006 - February 2008, the Student Council won funding to deliver a series of multi-cultural events: two in Redditch and a further five across the County of Worcestershire.
