Town and Parish Councils

Town and Parish Councils are a critical part of the local government infrastructure and have a significant range of powers and duties, giving them a unique and specific role within the community. Local councils undertake some of these duties and powers to varying levels and degrees and many raise local precepts for the services they deliver. 

Town and Parish Councils have a key role in representing communities, empowering localities and helping to deliver local services. There are 9 Town Councils, 97 Parish Councils, 6 Parish Meetings and 2 Unparished Councils in the Cheshire East Borough and there is a vast difference in size and profile for each.

Macclesfield town and Crewe town are unparished areas and therefore do not have a town or parish council to represent them. Chartered trustees have been appointed to carry out a specific role.  Wilmslow, Styal and Handforth were parished in May 2011.
