A community governance review can consider the creation of new parishes or abolishing, altering or grouping of parishes under a common parish council. A review can also consider the electoral arrangements of parishes such as the number of members elected; the need for parish or town wards; the names of wards; the number of members per ward and the naming of the parish.

Have you ever thought of getting involved at election time by either working at a polling station or at the count? Each year we employ hundreds of staff to ensure elections run smoothly.
