There are 9,000 parish and town councils in England. Over 16 million people live in communities served by these local councils, which is around 25% of the population, and about 80,000 councillors serve on these councils. It is calculated £1 billion is invested in these communities every year.  Their activities fall into three main categories: representing the local community, delivering services to meet local needs, and improving quality of life and community well being.
