New town clerk wanted for Blandford - but what does the council do for us?

I see that Blandford is looking for a new town clerk. Applications have to be in by this Thursday, August 5.
The council wants someone who is ‘proactive’ and ‘forward thinking’.
But is the any point in the town council? Is it just a layer of bureaucracy we don’t need?
It’s the fourth tier of government after parliament, the county council and the district council.
Blandford Forum Town Council is the first council in North Dorset, and the fifth in Dorset, to be awarded with Quality Council Status.
According to its website, ‘the town council supplements the provision of local government services in Blandford Forum and provides a range of social and recreational facilities, while promoting and representing the town with other national and statutory bodies’.
But what does it actually do?

Council's like to spend our money on useless stuff, it makes them feel important...and of course they know better than us.

ReportPromoting the Town means going on publicly funded holidays at least once a year. It's not a real job!!!!
