What is a Parish Council?
Parish or Town Councils are an essential tier of Government within the UK; a Parish/Town Council is the smallest and most localised tier of local government in the UK and is a properly constituted local authority.
The powers, duties, and how a Parish Council operates are laid out in local government statutes and regulations; Parish Councils perform below the national government and district and borough councils. Parish & Town Councils are elected and can help on several local issues, like planning applications or running local sports grounds and community halls.
The Parish Council has legal responsibilities as an employer and sometimes as an owner of public land and buildings.
Parish Councils are Statutory Bodies, having powers under several different Acts (the Local Government Act 1972, the Public Health Act 1936, etc.). Only a few Councils need to use all their available powers. It is up to each Council to choose what is appropriate for the community they serve.
The Council raises funds through the annual Precept set in January each year. The amount required is guided by the annual budget’s setting in the preceding November.
The Parish Council precept is added to the Council Tax bill and collected by Epping Forest District Council (on behalf of the Parish Council).
The Council also raises funds through grants from other organisations.
