Parish councils are often underappreciated and undervalued in what they do even though they are an essential part of the governing of England today. In spite of this, the number of parish councils and the roles they perform are increasing. This book explores the reasons for this apparent resurgence in parish councils. Some of it is a response to local demand, especially with the impact of austerity on local government as a whole. At the same time, austerity measures have seen moves to much larger units of local government. Again, the demand for a more local tier of government has resulted in the creation of new parish councils. There is a huge caveat and this is in relation to capacity. Do these new councils have the capacity to deliver the services demanded of them?

Little information is available to central government on local councils, as was highlighted by the Widdicombe Committee's report in 1986. Therefore the primary purpose of the Department of the Environment in commissioning this two-stage research study by Aston Business School was to fill this information gap. The initial stage of the research comprised a large-scale survey . This publication reports on the second stage which was undertaken in 1992, and is a series of detailed case studies of 15 local councils of different sizes and types. The extent and nature of their activities and the way they conduct their business is examined.
