Everything included, no add-ons

One system for your whole team — clerks, officers, councillors and volunteers. Every module is included as standard, with no hidden add-ons or “request a quote” runaround.

Accessible by law, out of the box

Built to the WCAG 2.2 AA standard public bodies are legally required to meet — keyboard-friendly, high-contrast, screen-reader ready, with an accessibility statement included.

One joined-up system

Enquiries, bookings, allotments, cemeteries, finance and governance share one modern interface — replacing a drawer full of spreadsheets, paper diaries and disconnected tools.

Nothing to install

Town Desk runs in the browser. Sign in once and your access level decides what you can see and do — no servers, no updates, no IT headache.

Sound familiar?

A drawer full of spreadsheets, a paper diary, and a dozen tools that don’t talk

Small councils run an enormous amount on very few people. Town Desk replaces the patchwork with one tidy, modern back-office — so an enquiry, a booking, an allotment waiting list and an FOI deadline all live in the same place, and nothing slips.

Why Town Desk

More joined-up than buying a tool per job

Most rivals sell you a module at a time and lock the good bits behind add-ons. Town Desk does the opposite — every module included, no surprise upsells.

  • A unified ticketing/CRM backbone — not a drawer of disconnected single-purpose tools
  • Public QR issue reporting that feeds straight into your service queue
  • An asset register with real inspection schedules, not just a finance line
  • Online payments, live maps and recurring bookings included as standard
  • A 5-tier access model so the right people see the right things
  • Encrypted backups and a full audit trail built in
  • Every module included as standard — no add-ons and no “request a quote” runaround
“We were juggling spreadsheets and paper for everything from allotments to enquiries. Town Desk puts it all in one place — and our whole team can get in and get on with it.”
