Vacancy
Two hours a month, and everybody starts knowing nothing
Parish councils look procedural and impenetrable from outside. Every current member joined knowing nothing about planning law, and the training is one evening.
The commitment
One meeting a month, about two hours, plus perhaps an hour of reading. Meetings are at seven thirty on the second Tuesday.
What it decides
The precept, the recreation ground, the burial ground, and formal comments on every planning application in the parish.
What you need
Nothing. There is a free half-day training course and every member has been through it. The clerk does the procedural work.
