Local Government
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the role of parish and community councils in local government.
- Answer
-
Parish councils, as the first tier of local government, have an important role to play and the activities they undertake should be shaped by the needs of their communities. That is why the Government has given parish councils greater freedoms and powers to serve those communities more effectively, and made it easier for communities in areas without a parish council to trigger the process of creating one.
