“We are working with County Association colleagues to build a picture of how much the 10,000 parish and town councils in England spend each year on solicitors.

For things like land transfers, lease agreements, contracts and procurement, legal disputes, and general legal advice.  Please look up the approximate total value of your legal services spend during the financial year ending 31 March 2022 and report the data via https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/PC5QJ6P. 

Please respond by 31 December 2022 if possible.  The data will be used purely for illustration; no personal information is being collected and no contact will be made with individual councils.  We will feedback the overall results in the New Year”.
