The Parish Council of Berden consists of seven elected Councillors, and employs one Clerk. The Council meets eight times a year, normally on a Monday evening at 8.15 in the Village Hall, to discuss and decide on matters of immediate local interest: these include such things as Planning Applications, Footpath Maintenance, Highways issues, Grass-cutting, etc.
 All Parishioners are welcome to attend any of the meetings, which are advertised on the Village Notice Board, and may also see the Minutes of all meetings. All the proceedings of the Parish Council are available to the Public. The meetings are normally attended also by the County and District Councillors with particular responsibility for Berden.
