Parish Council
Parish councillor is an unpaid local government role, and parish councils deal with a wide range of local issues, excluding those falling within the direct remit of district and county councils. It is important to point out that parish councils view planning applications prior to them being discussed by district council, acting in an advisory capacity only.
