Tracing History Backwards
'Government-Now and Then ',-5
Parish Councils and Rural District
Councils-Now'
Commander STEPHEN KING-HALL
Today Commander King-Hall is to tell you about the smallest of that nest of boxes he mentioned in his first talk in this series, the smallest unit of local government-the parish council.
As he will tell you, every parish of over 300 people has a parish council. Its duties include the provision of allotments and the parish hall, the care of footpaths, street lamps and fire engines, public libraries, village greens, and so on. You will learn the relationship between parish councils and rural district councils, and between parish and Parliament.
