“Why should anyone want to be a parish councillor ?
No power, no pay and lots of abuse from ignorant people who have never lifted a finger for their village.
I know. I was a parish councillor for 11 years. Am I bitter ? Dead right I am.”

Isn't this a medieval practice designed to prevent the less wealthy from contributing?”
