Gamlingay Parish Council

Friday February 15th, 2019

What is the point?
Of the Parish Council....
As a body of elected representatives of your community, it makes decisions on your behalf. It is the level of government closest to the community, with South Cambs District Council above it in the hierarchy.
The parish council makes all kinds of decisions on issues that affect the local community. It is true to say that on its own the parish council has limited power. But it does have the ability to negotiate with, and the power to influence, those other organisations that do make the final decisions (such as the District and County councils, health authorities, police etc).
In this respect parish councils are extremely powerful. The organisations that make the final decisions know that a parish council gives the best reflection of how a community feels about something, and its views will be taken seriously.
The parish council has a wide range of powers which essentially relate to local matters and can raise money through taxation – known as the precept. The precept is the parish council’s share of council tax. The precept demand goes to South Cambs District Council, which collects the tax for the parish council.
How is this precept spent? On grounds maintenance, community buildings, cemeteries, playgrounds, benches, street lights, grants to local organisations, legal and staff costs. Full details of the budget can be viewed on our website www.gamlingay-pc.gov.uk ... See MoreSee Less
