Legal advice

Regardless of their size, parish and town councils in England are governed by legal requirements that ensure they operate transparently, accountably, and in the best interests of their communities. All councillors and council staff must understand that acting according to this statutory framework is a legal requirement. By adhering to these legal requirements, parish and town councils ensure they operate within the law, maintain public trust, and effectively serve their communities.
