The Parish of Brigg is served by its own Town Council, which was established during the 1974 re-organisation of Local Government.

The Town Council consists of 19 members, and elections are held in May once every four years to coincide with the District Council elections for North Lincolnshire Council. Brigg Town Councillors serve in an entirely voluntary capacity and, although mileage allowances can be claimed by members who represent the Town Council out of the Town, no other allowances are paid other than the Town Mayor’s Allowance.

The Chairman of the Town Council is also the Town Mayor, and he/she is elected by members of the Town Council at the Council Annual Meeting held each year in May. The current Town Mayor is Councillor Mike Campion. The Deputy Mayor / Town Mayor Elect is Councillor John Kitwood.
