A parish council is a type of local authority found in England which is the lowest, or first, tier of local government.A parish council can decide by resolution to be known as a town council, village council, neighbourhood council or community council. They are elected bodies and have variable tax raising powers. Parish councils are responsible for areas known as civil parishes; although not every civil parish has a council. They cover only part of England; corresponding to 35% of the population. There are currently no parish councils in Greater London and before 2007 their creation was not permitted within a London borough. Many parish councils originate from the Local Government Act 1894, which established them in rural areas; a further tranche were introduced in 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972 in successor parishes; and since the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 further parish councils have been created at an increased rate. There are approximately 8,500 councils in England and the National Association of Local Councils exists to provide support and lobby services.
