Let me just test the water here . If I take the lead on the petition to set up a parish council . How many people would be interested ? Just like the post !! To set up your own town or parish council, you’ll need to first give your local authority a petition containing the signatures of at least 10% of the local population. The petition must: state exactly what it proposes, ie creating a parish or town council for a defined area contain the signatures of at least 10% of local electors, based on the most recent electoral register - you’ll need more signatures for areas with fewer than 2,500 electors If the petition is valid, your local authority will carry out a ‘community governance review’ to see if a local council should be created.
