Quality Parish Council Status - Quality Parish and Town Council Scheme Revised

The 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" Hazel Blears MP, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government
