- The Molescroft Parish Council is part of the layer of local Government nearest the community in England. It is democratically elected and should be responsible to the community it serves. Molescroft Parish Council meets once month (at the Pavilion) and the time, date and agenda for the meetings are published via the Parish Noticeboards around the Parish.
- Services for the community provided by the Parish are limited both by the law and by the amount of money available to the Council. The income of the Parish Council is provided purely by levying an amount via the Council Tax called the precept. The Parish Council has limited the budget to £24,150 for the year 2009-10 - the equivalent to £8.94 pa for a D Band household.
