Talk:Tonbridge and Malling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The article muddles the two tiers of local government:
- the members of the District Council, the second tier (central government being the first), who often serve an area made up of more than one village, or alternatively serve only part of a larger town such as Snodland, where there are two councillors for two wards; and
- the civil parish, the third tier, where there are also members on a different council, serving an area often larger than a village itself
As a result, this article is at odds with that on the List of civil parishes in Kent. It is a common misapprehension, I'm afraid! Most village articles omit to include the words civil parish, and confine themselves to talking about the village itself, ignoring the other settlements included in the parish.
