WARNING

Published: 14 February 2025

WEBSITE PARISH.UK

We want to raise awareness that there is a website at parish.uk which displays information about English Parishes, asks residents to subscribe and encourages businesses to pay to be on their business directory.

This website has been reported for potential phishing as it presents itself as a safe source having copied the Government website format but actually has no links to the Government or to Talaton Parish Council. The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) recommends that councils do not submit any information to them & we recommend that residents and businesses do not engage either.

You can listen to an item on BBC Radio 4’s You and Yours about Parish.UK by following this link (the report starts at 29:22) – BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Care home evictions, Charity shops, PARISH.UK investigation (or, if the link does not work please cut and paste the link into your browser)

The Parish Council has no further information about this issue but urges all residents and businesses to simply disregard any notifications they may receive from parish.uk
