This is an online link to the
Good Councillors Guide which should be issued to all Local Councillors in booklet form.
Worth a read by anyone who wants to know how things should happen at parish and town councils and much shorter than going through all the relevant Local Government Acts. There have been updates since it was written, e.g. on the right of the public to record council meetings, and the new requirements as to what councils have to publish on their websites.
