Parish councils - general information

The district is divided into seventy four parishes. Some of those parishes, however, are so small and with so few residents/registered voters that they are unable to support a Parish Council structure. There are 8 such areas and in these cases they adopt a Parish Meeting format.

Others have combined with neighbouring small parishes to form joint parish councils with many adopting to reserve a set number of seats by warding the parishes within the Parish Council.
