WOODSTOCK

Town councils in England and Wales provide the third, but most independent level of local government below county and district councils. They are responsible for managing town funds, liaison with district and county councils, providing and maintaining local amenities such as monuments, playing fields, footpaths and churchyards. Town councils may impose a limited local tax, or precept, which is collected on their behalf by the district council as part of the council tax. They may also administer local charities.
