Beckley &
Stowood
Parish Council
Parish Councils are local authorities as defined in the Local Government Act 1972, section 270. They are corporate bodies, and membership is by election for four years. The number of Councillors is determined by the size of the electoral roll of the parish. Councillors are unpaid volunteers and members of the local community. The Council has the power to co-opt members of the public on to the Council, in which case they may serve until the next Council elections.
Parish Councils are also able to appoint a Clerk who is an employed member of the Council. Clerks may not take decisions binding on the Council, except where specific matters have been delegated to them either by statute or by the Council.
Beckley and Stowood Parish Council is a tier below the unitary authority of South Oxfordshire District Council. As a Parish Council it is responsible for such local matters as advising on planning applications, transport issues, street lighting, leisure areas, other local concerns and dealing with local and national Government legislation.
