Welcome to Portishead Town Council

Portishead's history dates back to Roman times, its name deriving from the 'port at the head of the river'.

Located just off Junction 19 of the M5 motorway, Portishead is a thriving town with an outdoor swimming pool, marina, shops, restaurants and many lovely places to walk, including the lake grounds.

With a population of approximately 27,000, Portishead is the second largest town in North Somerset.

Portishead Town Council is responsible to the people within the local community. To find out more about the council and take a look around our website and social media channels.
