Parish Councils main governing principles are set out in the Local Government Act 1972: |
Councils must meet a minimum of 4 times per year & must keep minutes of their meetings. |
They must have their accounts audited in accordance with this & subsequent legislation, |
meetings must be publicly advertised in advance within the area served by the Council and |
Councillors must, on taking office formally agree to be bound by a new Code of Conduct. |
