The Future of Local Councils: A Survey of Parish, Town and Community Councils in England and Wales
(SLCC, 2023-01) Rose, Jonathan; Giovannini, Arianna; Griggs, Steven; Parker, Steven; Parker, Steven
For many communities across England and Wales, parish, town, and community councils are the first tier of elected local government. Yet, the roles and responsibilities of these local councils, like other tiers of local government, remain poorly understood by many members of the public. Local councils can raise their own funds. They can act as stewards of communities. They hold in trust halls and buildings, provide playgrounds and sport facilities and manage green spaces. They deliver and support local services. And they represent and empower community voices in local planning and neighbourhood development. Yet we know relatively little about the day-to-day work of local councils and those who serve them. This report addresses this knowledge gap, and presents the results of a major new survey of local councils.
