 | | Civil parishes are usually administered by parish councils, (sometimes called a town council or occasionally a 'City Council') which have various local responsibilities. |
| | Parish councils are supposed to act as a channel of local opinion to larger local government bodies, and as such have the right to be consulted on any planning decisions affecting the parish. |
| | Parish councils receive funding from their district council, taken from the council tax paid by the residents of the parish. |
