PARTON PARISH COUNCIL CONSISTS OF 11 DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED COUNCILLORS.
Parton Parish council is the first tier of governance and we are generally the first point of contact for anyone concerned with a community issue.
We are a democratically elected local authority.
The term ‘local council’ is synonymous with ‘parish council’, ‘town council’ and ‘community council’.
There are over 10,000 local councils in England and Wales, representing the concerns of local residents and providing some services to meet local needs.
Local councils are made up of locally elected councillors. They are legally obliged to hold at least four meetings a year.
At the moment, Parton hold a Full Council Meeting monthly, normally every 2nd Friday of the month. A notice of the meeting will appear here and on the village notice boards.
In addition to this, any committees or sub-committees or working groups may meet if constituted dealing with specific subjects. These sessions are usually also open to the public.
HOW ARE WE FUNDED?
The funding for Parton Parish Council is claimed through Cumberland Council, who in turn claim it back from the residents of Parton. It is added to the area’s council tax; this is called an annual precept, which you will see listed separately on your annual Council tax bill. Parton Parish Council estimate their anticipated income and expenditure for the next financial year and use this to produce a budget. The estimated amount required to meet the budget is then requested from Cumberland Council, who then add it to your annual bill.
