Parish versus Borough Council

Stratton St Margaret Pc Logo

Parish councils operate at a level below district and borough councils and in some cases, unitary authorities.

They’re elected and can help on a number of local issues, like providing:

  • Allotments
  • Burials
  • Community Centres
  • Play Areas & Play Equipment
  • Grants to help local organisations
  • Consultation on neighbourhood planning

They’re usually responsible for services like:

  • Rubbish Collection
  • Recycling
  • Council Tax collections
  • Housing
  • Planning Applications
  • Highway & Street Light Maintenance
