The Sector
There are currently approximately 8,500 Parish, Town and Community Councils throughout England and Wales.

This sector has been described with phrases such as ‘solid’, ‘safe and sound’ and ‘not prone to panic’. Words that cannot be used to describe many commercial companies or even markets at this present time of economic uncertainty.

And the future of our sector is bright. Following the implementation of the latest Local Government Bill, the number of Councils will increase in the coming years as more and more of the large urban areas in our country become parished to give communities more control over their local environments. With the Unitary Tide also accelerating, an increasing level of responsibilities will be passed to the first tier of local government, creating greater activity and spending power.

The Society of Local Council Clerks, (SLCC)
The SLCC is the professional body for Clerks of Town, Parish and Community Councils in England and Wales. We are committed to promote professionalism within the sector and improve the effectiveness of the Clerk’s role through the provision of training, advice and support. We currently represent over 4,200 Town, Parish and Community Councils in England and Wales and are recognised as a body which represents and promotes ‘best practice’ in the sector.


Why is the SLCC the best way to market products and services?
Clerks are the CEO/Business Manager of their Council. By law, all contact with a Council in our sector is handled by the Clerk.  The Society’s database is the most accurate and comprehensive in the sector and includes full details for both members and non-members to the Society.
