Council

Athlone Town Council provides an extensive range of infra-structural services, and plays an active role in the development of the town's industry, business, social, arts, heritage and cultural affairs. It also functions as the regulatory body for certain matters at local level.

Local Government in the form of a Municipal Council has existed in Athlone since the town received its first Charter in 1599. The Athlone Town Council as presently constituted has served the people for over 100 years and has adopted and broadened its activities over the decades to meet the changing needs of the community. It is now continuing that evolutionary process and has fully embraced Local Government Reform and with Westmeath County Council provides a seemless service for the town and rural area of Athlone.

Athlone Town Council has nine elected members.
