PARISH, TOWN & COMMUNITY COUNCILS

Shaw & Sons supply a range of books, forms, records and registers designed specifically for Parish, Town and Community Councils.

Our book titles include The Parish Councillor’s Guide.  This practical guide to the law and practice of parish, town and community councils in England and Wales assists the reader through the complications of the law while avoiding over-technical language for both new and existing councillors.  It is also an invaluable reference for clerks.  The Local Council Clerk’s Guide offers practical advice and guidance covering all aspects of a clerk’s appointment and duties and proves an essential tool for clerks in their day-to-day responsibilities.

We offer instant credit facilities to any parish, town or community council.  We understand how clerks or officers may need to get approval for certain levels of expenditure so, should you need more in-depth information, our Customer Services are always available to answer specific queries.

Shaws are also able to provide a bespoke book binding service, including binding of your loose council minutes.  Please call on 01322 621100 and ask to speak to Peter Crosby about this service.  Binding of council minutes starts from as little as £74.00 plus VAT and provides you with the most appropriate way of storing your minutes long term.

Our Challenge to You

We have been supplying such products since the 1750s and are often approached by a council to replace a register that we supplied long before any current member of staff first started.  We recently replaced a register for a small parish that was first used in 1898!

Do you have a product produced by Shaws earlier than this?  If so we would be grateful to hear from you as we are always keen to update our historic records.  In return for the information we will offer your parish a credit of £10.00 or a free copy of The Parish Councillor’s Guide.   If you wish to contact us about this, click on this link, complete your details and a member of staff will be in touch.  If you can supply an electronic image then email this to historyofproducts@shaws.co.uk.
