Parish and Town Council elections
Parish and Town Councils reflect local needs and have the power to provide their neighbourhood with certain local services, which vary from place to place.
The Borough Council consults Parish and Town Councils for their views on all planning applications within their areas. Where Parish Councils do not meet regularly, there may be Parish meetings at which local residents can make their views known.
