For those who are uncertain of what a Town or Parish Councillor does, a brief introduction is available at "Councillor's role" on the left.

The information on this website is general information and useful for background discussions.  It is always sensible for councillors considering this information to contact the Association office to discuss the latest information.

Among the most frequently asked questions (FAQ) are...

"How do you operate the arrangements for election of chairman?"

"What are the arrangements for elections?"

"Does our Clerk need a Contract of Employment?"

"How many hours should our part-time clerk work?"

"How much should we pay?"

"What about paying car expenses?"

"How is the Precept or Council Tax calculated?"

"How long do you need to keep Council papers?"
