The parish of Colburn runs from the River Swale in the north beyond Colburn Village; to the south, Somme Barracks on Horne Road; to the West White Shops on A6136; and to the East, the boundary with Brough with St Giles at Walkerville Estate just before Lidl.

There are 3 wards making up the whole electoral parish: Colburn Town with 9 seats on the Town Council with 1 seat for the Albermarle area and 1 seat for Colburn Moor which is covers the Carlton/Cleveland Road housing areas off Horne Road.

Colburn Sidings Woods were acquired by the Town Council when the historic area was purchased for housing development.  In memory of all the regiments who served in the World Wars when this area was the end of the railway line which transported machinery, munitions, soldiers and all supplies to and from the front line, a Memorial Walk has been installed with a Memorial bench in the quiet grassed area besides the Woods.

The Town Council maintains 7 Play Parks the largest of these is at Piper Hill in the centre of the main housing area behind The Broadway.  Here there is a MUGA together with outdoor exercise equipment and a zip wire.  Albermarle Play park is large with an area for football activity together with a zip wire and other play equipment.  There are smaller play areas at Grange Road, Bridge Close and 3 Parks within The Chase housing area on the other side of the A6136.

From 1^st February 2023, the Town Council actively financed the new charitable group that took over the lease of the Council owned Colburn Sports Centre working with the existing user groups at the Centre.  With volunteer help and sponsorship from local businesses, they have transformed the building and upgraded the football pitches for regular use.  There is much to be done for long term carbon reduction and energy saving but the facility is at the heart of large scale housing and offers residents a variety of gymnastic, exercise, yoga, boxing classes with plenty of ideas for the future.
