RAINHILL PARISH COUNCIL
Rainhill Parish Council was established in 1894
and is one of the longest established Parish Councils in the country.
The Council is the lowest level of local government. The Council
consists of 14 voluntary Councillors who are elected for a four year
term of office to serve and administer for the needs of the residents
of Rainhill. The Parish Councillors determine and set policy to cater
for the social, cultural, welfare and environmental needs of Rainhill
residents and employ a part time Clerk to the Council to implement
policy decisions.
The Parish Council is financed by raising a
precept or levy on all residential properties in Rainhill, this precept
raises approx. £45,000 per year. Some of the money raised is used
to finance the large and well used village hall which was built in 1966
with it being refurbished and enlarged in 2001. The hall is
administered by a voluntary committee.
