SOP and without the qualities of a set phrase (as might instead be the case with city council or student council). Imetsia (talk) 00:03, 29 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Keep both - I don't think "the qualities of a set phrase" matter here. I have added usage notes to town council, and also note that where the British government have abolished county councils and replaced them with unitary authorities, the term "county council" has often been dropped and replaced by just "council".

It is true that parts of the UK have these things, but they are still just the council of a county or town. I would delete it. We may also have a "town mayor" etc. Also, seriously, Donnanz, your support has become a very strong sign for something that should be deleted. You may want to consider that.

I already have. A town council is a parish council that has declared itself to be a town council, and also can have a mayor, unlike a parish council. Yet both parish and town councils serve/represent a civil parish (or community in Wales). What's in a name? DonnanZ (talk) 09:45, 30 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
