However, we have listened and have proposed a further concession, which builds on our previous one. This makes it clear that parish councils, where they exist, have an important role to play in neighbourhood governance. Alongside our commitments to review and update community governance review guidance and publish a neighbourhood governance framework, this strikes the right balance. We will work with local authorities and the parish council sector to promote this refreshed guidance. We will begin engagement for this work before the Summer Recess and update the guidance as soon as possible thereafter.
