The current matters of Windlebridge are decided in the Village Council. Sir Patrick built a house for the Council in the village, and is of course the undisputed leader of the Council. But for the Chairman, there are 16 spots on the Council. All the farmers have a chair, and then nine of the Villagers, normally the oldest male in the Better Off families and also the older Shop Owners. You must be a male sim and an adult to be eligible for a place in the council.

Behind the Village Council building there is a cottage for the caretaker family, currently Charles Stokes and his wife Teresa.
