Government’s agenda on empowerment of community organisations makes it
all the more essential for parish and town to work towards Quality Status to
prove their effectiveness. The revised
scheme now includes mandatory tests for community engagement, promoting local
democracy and citizenship and adoption of national terms and conditions of
employment for clerks, amongst others. “Local Councils are vital to
re-invigorating local democracy. The
Quality Parish and Town Council Scheme has played an important role in
improving the quality of management and administration of parish and town
councils. The Government welcomes the
revision of the scheme and encourages local councils to consider seeking accreditation”
