The Parish Council is an elected body responsible for local government within Quarley.  The Parish Council represents the interests of the parish and liaises with other bodies involved in local government in the provision of local services, for example Hampshire County Council, and Test Valley Borough Council. The Parish Council receives funding primarily from the Borough Council through its precept - the annual allowance which sets the budget for the provision of services. The Parish Council may raise additional funds, directly from the community, and through grants, for special projects. The Parish Council is elected in its entirety every four years. Councillors serve for the full four years, and are unpaid. Councillors are governed by a mandatory code of conduct, which includes obligations to act with probity, and to disclose any personal interests which may be relevant to their work as a councillor.
