Parish/Town Councils

There are 53 Parish and Town Councils in Richmondshire.

A Parish/Town Council acts as the voice of its local community, passing parishioners' opinions and views on to high levels of government and other bodies. Its powers are defined and granted by acts of Parliament.

Elections to Parish and Town Councils are held every four years.

Parish and Town Councils are an essential part of the structure of local democracy and have a vital role in acting on behalf of the communities they represent.
