Setting up of Brickhill Parish Council led to reduction of Borough council tax for Brickhill

Brickhill has a Parish Council, created in 2004. In the initial elections in June 2004, 9 Liberal Democrats were elected, plus 4 Tories. The budget for the first year of the Parish Council's existence was proposed by the Conservative borough councillors. In 2005 and 2006 the Parish sets its own budget.

Brickhill Parish council will be working for local residents this year to tackle crime and fear of crime in Brickhill, seeking to improve the provision of services for young people in Brickhill, and taking responsibility for the Brickhill allotments amongst many other matters.
