The role of Town and Parish Councils
Town and parish councils have a range of responsibilities including:
- representing the local community’s interests, for example, by commenting on planning applications
- supporting local organisations and activities, for example with grants
- providing amenities, such as allotments, burial grounds, bus shelters and public seats
- looking after green spaces and footpaths.
The Oxfordshire Association of Local Councils represents and supports town and parish councils, and can provide more information on their role. Follow the link on the right to visit their site.
Please contact your local town or parish council for more information on their role, meetings and local issues.
You will find links to all the towns and parish councils in South Oxfordshire on the Parish and Town Council home page. You
can use our interactive map to find out which parish you live in:
