What is a Community Council?
Town and Community Councils are the first tier of local government and provide communities with a democratic voice and a structure for taking community action.
The Community Council is a legal, corporate body entirely separate from but comprising of its Members (Councillors). The Council has a duty to appoint a Chair, a Clerk, a Financial Officer (often the Clerk) and an Internal Auditor. It must convene an Annual Meeting and at least three other meetings each year. The Council has a duty to consider all relevant matters brought before it, to make informed decisions, judgements and recommendations and to implement these by instruction to the Clerk.
Councils have various Duties and Powers that are legislated for – a Duty is a mandatory action that must be carried out, a Power is also granted by legislation (through an Act of Parliament) but is discretionary, ie the Council will have the Power to do something but may choose not to do it. An example of this is the Power to provide allotments, a children's play area, bus shelters or public toilets.
