church clock - parish councils act 1957 section 2

Question

Good evening

May I ask for clarification.   I am sure when I did my training as a councillor we could contribute to the repair of church clock (located on church tower) using Parish Councils act 1957 section 2 ?

Answer 1

Yes Ann, section 2 gives local councils the power to provide, maintain and light a clock, whilst section 6 gives the power to contribute to the expenses of others in so doing.
