Official news: Parish, town and community councils

The first tier of elected government: about 10,000 parish and town councils in England, community councils in Wales and Scotland, and wards and communes elsewhere. In England and Wales they can raise their own tax (a precept added to council tax bills) and run allotments, parks, halls and small public works.
