Parish Council

Badger Parish Council is a non-political elected body forming the third tier of Local Government. The Parish Council has the same status as a Town Council and both are sometimes known as 'Local Councils'. As Councillors, we represent you the elector and resident of the the Parish.

The Council consists of 5 members (Councillors) plus a Clerk, acting rather like the Board of a Company . All Councillors work on a voluntary basis. No Councillors has the right to act individually; the authority of the Council comes from the body as a whole. The Clerk, as a Proper Officer of the Council in law has a number of specific duties and resonsibilities in executing the resolutions of the Council and advising on points of law and procedure.
