Governance

The Government has published ‘The Code of Recommended Practice for Local Authorities on Data Transparency’ which effectively recommends parish councils which have a gross annual income or expenditure (whichever is the higher) of a least £200,000 to publish ‘Public Data’.

The Council prepares an annual accounting statement which is externally audited. This summarises the council’s income and expenditure for the year and includes statements from the Council’s internal auditor.

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a charge that local authorities impose on new developments to ensure local infrastructure and services can support growing communities and promote sustainable development.

In order to support the efficient and informed decision-making of the Parish Council, Member Panels may be established to focus on specific areas of Council business. These Panels are advisory in nature and are tasked with providing recommendations to the full Council.
