Clerk’s Column January 2007
Parish Power “What does the Parish Council do?” is an oddly difficult question to answer, because strictly in terms of direct action the reply is “Not a lot.” It is easier to answer by indicating what it would be like if the Council did not exist. So, a recent small drama, though not part of …
