As the tier of government closest to the electorate, Parish Councils are the most accessible and the best placed form of government to deal with local issues.  Parish Councillors are elected once every four years and normally live and/or work within the parish that they serve and so have a good understanding of local issues and needs.  A good councillor should be  known by the local population and be approachable and a good listener. 

Glaisdale Parish Council is an active body, as any study of the minutes will show, and provides several benefits to local residents on a month by month basis.  Regular activity includes care and maintenance of the parish infrastructure (roads and drainage, verge and open space management, signs and street lighting) through agency agreements with the district authorities, as well as commenting on all planning applications and issues.

The council interacts with all of the local district authorities in promoting issues and concerns that matter to you and strives always to get the 'best result' on your behalf.
