A practical guide to the law and practice of parish, town and community councils in England and Wales, presented in an alphabetical classification. It provides an A-Z listing of all matters relevant to parish councils and parish councillors. It aims to assist the reader through the complications of the law while avoiding over-technical language and providing practical comments where possible. Primarily intended for use by those involved either as members or officers, it should also prove a useful guide for those wondering what duties might be entailed in becoming a parish councillor. This 16th edition has been revised to bring its contents up to date.

The parish councillor's guide: The law and practice of parish, town, and community councils in England and Wales

This well-established and popular book is now being updated to an eighteenth edition by Paul Clayden, to reflect recent developments, e.g.: - Code of Conduct and members' interests - Freedom of information - Quality parish councils - New audit arrangements. The alphabetical format of the book remains the same, as does its extensive but clear coverage of all aspects of the law and practice of parish, town and community councils in England and Wales. New councillors, in particular, will find this book invaluable and, in fact, many clerks insist that all their councillors have a copy to ensure they have a full understanding of their duties and responsibilities. It is also an essential reference for clerks themselves.
