parish
n. A local government area in England (outside Greater London) consisting of a division of a district (though not all districts are so divided). All parishes have meetings and many have an elected parish council, which is a local authority with a number of minor local governmental functions (e.g. the provision of allotments, bus shelters, and recreation grounds). A parish council may by resolution call its area a town, itself a town council, and its chairman the town mayor. The Local Government and Rating Act 1997 gives extra powers to parish councils in relation to rights of transport and crime prevention.
