The Role of Parish Councils
As a tier of local government, parish and town councils are elected bodies with limited discretionary powers and rights, laid down by Parliament, to represent their communities and to provide services to them.
Public participation takes place during open forum. This occurs for up to 15 minutes, at the beginning and at the end of the General meeting. It gives residents of the parish the opportunity to put their views forward to the parish council or ask questions about parish council business.
Some items raised at open forum might be discussed at the council meeting immediately following the forum. However, in some instances they may be discussed at the next meeting.
Parish councils must be notified of all planning applications. The council can make comments, observations and recommendations. The final decision on approval or otherwise, however, rests with Lichfield District Council.
Suggestion box:
There is a new suggestion box next to the village notice board. If anyone in the village has any suggestions, please leave a comment in the box and the Parish Council will discuss it at the next Parish Council meeting.

Explanation of significant variances in the accounting statements - Section 2
Local council name: Harlaston Parish Council
Please explain any variances of more than 15% between the totals for individual boxes in Section 2. We do not require explanations for variances of less than £200; however, in some cases there may be ‘compensating’ variances which leave the overall total for a box relatively unchanged – e.g. where there was a major one-off project in one year (e.g. contribution to village hall extension of £30,000), but a totally different expense of a similar size in the next (e.g. purchase of playground equipment of £28,000). In such cases, it would be helpful to provide an explanation of movements within each box. We also ask you to explain any change where there is a movement to or from zero. Please either use the proforma below, or complete a separate schedule if more space is required.
