They are a bunch of little fish that think they are sharks.
They are supposed to have the people of and the parishes' best interests at the heart of what they do but when they have been on it for years they tend to get a bit power hungry and class the grants they have to give out as 'thier' money and become officious and odious.
They are not all like that and certainly not to start with but a lot use the parish council as their own little kingdomes.
