Governance
Market Weighton has a town council, which operates under the East Riding of Yorkshire County Council.
The town was also the centre of the Weighton Area Regeneration Partnership (WARP), a brand identity launched in 2003 to create a cohesive image that could be used by local businesses in their publicity. Part of this identity is the moniker 'the heart of Yorkshire'; signifying both its central location in the county and the strength of the local community, who chose the phrase . Though this organisation was dissolved in 2012, the phrase lives on in the public consciousness and is retained on local signage.
