Rights and Interests of Member Councils
- At national level, The National Association has been instrumental in raising the profile of parish and town councils with Government, which has resulted in for eg the Quality Parish Status Scheme. It is recognised nationally as the representative body of town and parish councils.
- At regional level the County Association with neighbouring Associations in the West Midlands is recognised by the remaining regional Government offices.
- At local level the County Association is recognised as the representative body in the local area, and has put in place the Local Councils’ Charter. Regular meetings are held to discuss highway and other issues. Warwickshire County Council has made available HR advice to the Association.

Membership fees 2021 - 2022
The membership fee is based on the number of electors in the Parish as at the end of March.
These WALC fees were approved by the members at the WALC AGM on 1 November 2017. It is proposed that there will be no change to the WALC membership fee for the following five years. WALC has no control over the fee charged by NALC so any increases during that five-year period will relate to that element of the fee.
The WALC portion of the fee is subject to VAT
