Who are we?

Working within a legal and development framework, Parish Councils form the first tier of local government.

 

Parish Councils:-

 

 

The Parish Council is not answerable to the other two tiers of local councils (Malvern Hills District Council & Worcestershire County Council), but we must make decisions in an open, accountable and transparent way.

An annual budget is set each year and accounts are subject to internal and external audit. To fund the budget the Parish Council sets a precept, which is an amount of money included in your council tax bill for financing the work undertaken in the community.

 

Conduct of Parish Councillors

Parish Councils are required to adopt a Code of Conduct which individual Councillors must sign up to. This code demands that Councillors must declare their interests and must not disclose confidential information.
