[Talk-GB] Parish Councils needs

[Martin Wynne]

What happens in these parts is that the town/parish councils get the new 
responsibility and increase their precept to cover it.

They then contract with the district council to provide the actual service.

The net result is that residents see no change whatsoever, it is just a 
paper-shuffling exercise. Apart that is from the difficulty of finding 
any corresponding reduction in the district council precept.
