What does a parish council do?

Mickleton Parish Council is first-tier statutory local government. It provides the parish with a democratic voice on how the area should develop for the future and a structure for taking community action. It doesn’t run public services, but it tries to influence decision-makers, working in partnership with both Cotswolds District Council and Gloucestershire County Council.

The parish council is responsible for managing its own budget which is financed through the annual Precept (its share of the Council Tax).
