Bradwell Parish Council has responsibility for a number of amenities within the village, and will make representations to the borough council, county council, police and others to secure improvements to services within the village.
Its 'base' is the Leo Coles Pavilion, located on the Green Lane Playing Field site – its meetings take place there, and the clerk's office is situated there.
The council publishes a twice-yearly newspaper, The Bradwellian, which is delivered to every household in Bradwell by a team of volunteers.[4]
