SPAIN. From an article about local and regional authority budgetary models. Although I understand the general meaning of the term, I'm interested in finding other people's opinions about the best way to translate it, from both sides of the pond and elsewhere. Feel free to abstain if you think the query is not "pro" enough.
This part of the text refers to the Zaragoza area.
"El municipio se divide administrativamente en 15 distritos, 14 urbanos y uno rural, que se subdivide, a su vez, en 14 barrios rurales. Los distritos se rigen por las Juntas Municipales, mientras que los barrios rurales lo hacen por las Juntas Vecinales"

The city is divided in districts that include the urban and rural areas. These districts are territorial divisions with their own management bodies, aiming at the decentralization of administration and the encouragement of citizen participation in the management and improvement of municipal affairs. There are 14 management bodies for the urban districts, named Municipal Boards (Juntas Municipales). There are 14 rural neighbourhoods in the Rural District and they are run by their own boards, the ***Neighbourhood Boards (Juntas Vecinales)***. The borders of the Municipal Boards or Neighbourhood Boards are established in a Plenary Session of the City Council.
These are the districts and neighbourhoods managed by the Municipal Boards: Centro, Casco Histórico, Delicias, Universidad, San José, Las Fuentes, Almozara, Oliver–Valdefierro, Torrero, Actur–Rey Fernando, el Rabal, Casablanca, Santa Isabel, and Miralbueno. The Neighbourhood Boards or Rural Neighbourhoods are: Alfocea, Casetas, Garrapinillos, Juslibol, La Cartuja Baja, Montañana, Monzalbarba, Movera, Peñaflor, San Gregorio, San Juan de Mozarrifar, Torrecilla, Venta del Olivar and Villarrapa.
Among **Neighbourhood Boards**, Casetas has the highest percentage of foreigners among its population, 18%.

Note from asker:
| Neighbourhood Boards gets a lot of convincing hits, cheers. I'll probably end up sending the authors a list of options and they can decide which they prefer. |
| I asked the client and all he said was "Las juntas vecinales son como los municipal councils pero de barrios rurales."... So I'm going with councils for this. |

Comment: "Asking the client wasn't much help, so I'm just going with "councils". I offered him choices for a couple of other similar terms and he'll just replied "OK", but without choosing one, so I'll just use whichever version takes my fancy. I mean if they can't be bothered going the extra mile, why should I? Thanks to everyone who chipped in on this query."

Local Council or Community Council
Just a suggestion.
"Local councils is a universal term for community, neighbourhood, parish and town councils, and are the first tier of local government." (From the National Association of Local Councils - England).
So, Local Council would be the blanket term for the lowest level of local government. I might be inclined to go for Community Council for Junta Vecinal because I think it fits the rural context. Neighbourhood Council might sound too urban to me.

: Depends on where you are - in UK 'local council' is understood as municipal, which would be the level above a neighbourhood.

There are 14 rural neighbourhoods in the Rural District and they are run by their own boards, the Neighbourhood Boards (Juntas Vecinales). The borders of the Municipal Boards or Neighbourhood Boards are established in a Plenary Session of the City Council.
I hope this helps.
