The Local Government White Paper
The Local Government White Paper proposed a number of changes for Parish and Town Councils including:-
- Extending the power of well-being to all Parish and Town councils which satisfy criteria based on the Quality Parish scheme.
- Devolving the power to create parishes to district and unitary authorities, allowing them to implement the recommendations of parish reviews and to respond to petitions from local communities.
- A presumption in favour of the setting up of Parish Councils
