Great Dunmow is an ancient market town in north-west Essex with an estimated population (2008) of 8,480.

The Great Dunmow Parish Council was established by the Local Government Act, 1894. The Council's title was changed to Great Dunmow Town Council in 1990 in recognition of the Council's developing role, the town's increasing significance, population, and municipal history: the office of Chairman of the Council was renamed Town Mayor in 2000 for similar reasons.

The Council consists of 15 members: 6 representing the North Ward and 9 for the South Ward.

Extensive public open spaces are administered by the Town Council, as well as the main public hall, a sports pavilion and other buildings. Current projects include construction of a public square in the town centre, opening a tourist information centre and renovating the Parish lock-up.

The Town Council actively defends, promotes and represents Great Dunmow - working hard to ensure the town motto of May Dunmow Prosper continues to be a reality in the future.
