The services that town and parish councils provide will vary significantly by area depending on the size of the council. They have wide ranging discretionary legal powers, enabling each to make a unique contribution to the needs its local community. Each council will set a precept, a charge on top of council tax, which they will use to spend on services.
In addition to delivering services to improve the quality of life of their residents, town and parish councils work closely with Wiltshire Council to give a voice to local matters. Town and parish councils have the right to be consulted on issues impacting their area, such as planning applications.
