About Us

The Community Council is made up of members of the community of Magor with Undy. We are elected by the public to serve a term of four years. We give our time on a voluntary basis and are not paid for the work we do. The Council does have the following paid employees: Beverly Cawley, Clerk of the Community Council and three village wardens.

Full Council meetings are held at least once a month, either at Undy Church and Community Hall, Magor Church Centre or the Magor Baptist Church Schoolroom. At these meetings, we go through the agenda (which is displayed on the Community Council notice boards in the village as well as on this site). There is also time set aside during which residents in the community may address the Community Council and/or ask them to discuss specific issues or concerns at a future meeting.

The Community Council also hold various 'committee' meetings on an ad hoc basis.
