Talk:Parish council (England)

message: I see a need to recognise that the distinction between parish and civil parish is at best very blurry, especially in historical contexts. In England and the UK its a fairly late development in administrative systems. Laurel Bush 15:03, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: You'd think so, but such is the wierd fudge that is British local government organisation. --Joopercoopers 09:13, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

text: I understand (and this article supports that view} that (local government) parish council and civil parish are not synonymous. Let us keep separate pages but make the distinction clear. Jan1nad (talk) 21:59, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Links to disambiguation page

message: The history section is a bit vague about origins and probably should mention vestries at some point. I don't know enough about that or have sources to hand unfortunately. MRSC (talk) 20:53, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think I can dig out something about Hobhouse's Act (which should have an article not a redlink) and the whole open/closed vestry conflab. Lozleader (talk) 21:36, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Can also dig out the references I used here: Local Government Act 1894#Background. The creation of parish councils was considered quite radical at the time.Lozleader (talk) 21:42, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've split off Civil parishes in England. Needs some work to ensure the overlap with this article is relevant. MRSC (talk) 08:11, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Origins

message: The lead section states that the area covered by a PC is a Civil Parish, whereas in practice a PC can cover more than one CP. I know that later in the article this is clarified, but does the wording in the lead need changing? Jan1naD - (talk) 22:26, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've amended the intro so it does not explicitly exclude parish groupings. MRSC (talk) 22:35, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

text: I think  this article needs merging  with Civil parishes in England.--Kudpung (talk) 14:02, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't think a merge is appropriate as civil parishes date from c 1535 and parish councils form 1894/5, although this is not made crystal clear in the parishes article (for instance the infobox): I will try to do a bit on the history.... Lozleader (talk) 20:38, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

text: Agree no merger. Each parish does not automatically have a parish council. Some have parish meetings, or one council covers multiple parishes. MRSC (talk) 14:41, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I hope you are well - you recently undid an edit I made to this article regarding the claim in the introduction that most Parish Councils spend under 25 thousand GBP a year. Your point about it being bad style to add  to the introduction is well taken, however I cannot seem to find the claim clarified in the article as you noted in your edit summary. Am I missing something? Balag12 (talk) 07:25, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
