Sywell Parish Council

Responsibilities

Parish, town and community councils in England and Wales have a number of basic responsibilities, including: representing the whole electorate within the parish: delivering services to meet local needs; and striving to improve quality of life in the parish. They can be responsible for providing a range of community services, such as:

Street Lighting    -  Local transport and traffic services   -   Allotments    -  Cemeteries

Recreation grounds   -   War Memorials    -  Seating and shelters   -   Rights of way

The council is also the first point of contact for aspiring local projects. The parish council must be notified of any planning application or highway development planned for the area if they so wish. On some occasions the council’s approval is also needed for any work to go ahead.
