English administrative areas
A map ofGreater Manchester , with its 14 parished areas highlighted in red. Acivil parish is a country subdivision, forming the lowest unit oflocal government in England . There are 14 civil parishes in theceremonial county ofGreater Manchester , most of the county beingunparished ;Bury ,Rochdale ,Salford andStockport are completely unparished. At the 2001 census, there were 129,325 people living in the civil parishes, accounting for 5.2% of the county's population.
Parishes arose fromChurch of England divisions, and were originally purely ecclesiastical divisions. Over time they acquired civil administration powers.[ 1]
TheHighways Act 1555 made parishes responsible for the upkeep of roads. Every adult inhabitant of the parish was obliged to work four days a year on the roads, providing their own tools, carts and horses; the work was overseen by an unpaid local appointee, theSurveyor of Highways .[ 2]
The poor were looked after by themonasteries , until theirdissolution . In 1572, magistrates were given power to 'survey the poor' and impose taxes for their relief. This system was made more formal by thePoor Law Act 1601 , which made parishes responsible for administering thePoor Law ; overseers were appointed to charge arate to support the poor of the parish.[ 3] Poor Law powers were transferred toPoor Law Unions .[ 4] Public Health Act 1872 grouped parishes into rural sanitary districts, based on the poor law unions; these subsequently formed the basis forrural districts .[ 5]
Parishes were run byvestries , meeting annually to appoint officials, and were generally identical to ecclesiastical parishes,[ 6] townships in large parishes administered thePoor Law themselves; under theDivided Parishes and Poor Law Amendment Act 1882 , allextra-parochial areas andtownships that levied a separate rate became independent civil parishes.[ 7]
Civil parishes in their modern sense date from theLocal Government Act 1894 (56 & 57 Vict. c. 73), which abolishedvestries ; established elected parish councils in all rural parishes with more than 300 electors; grouped rural parishes into rural districts; and aligned parish boundaries with county and borough boundaries.[ 7] urban district ,municipal borough orcounty borough in which they were situated; many large towns contained a number of parishes, and these were usually merged into one. Parish councils were not formed in urban areas, and the only function of the parish was to elect guardians to poor law unions; with the abolition of thePoor Law system in 1930 the parishes had only a nominal existence.[ 8]
TheLocal Government Act 1972 retained civil parishes in rural areas, and many formerurban districts andmunicipal boroughs that were being abolished, were replaced by new successor parishes; urban areas that were considered too large to be single parishes becameunparished areas .[ 9]
Greater Manchester showing the former local authorities The current position [ edit ] Recent governments have encouraged the formation of town and parish councils in unparished areas, and theLocal Government and Rating Act 1997 gave local residents the right to demand the creation of a new civil parish.[ 10]
A parish council can become a town council unilaterally, simply by resolution;[ 9] city status , but only if that is granted bythe Crown .[ 9] mayor .[ 9] Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 introduced alternative names: a parish council can now choose to be called a community; village; or neighbourhood council.[ 11]
