Broadland has 48 parish councils, three town councils and 12 parish meetings. Town and parish councils are separate and independent of Broadland District Council.
Town and parish councils:
represent their local community
deliver services to meet local needs and improve the quality of life for their community
are funded by levying a parish 'precept' which is included in the Council Tax collected by Broadland District Council
have unpaid councillors who are elected to serve for four years
