Quality Status for Urchfont!

The Accreditation Panel for Quality Status has met to consider the Quality Status application from Urchfont Parish Council.  The panel was impressed with the high standard of evidence within the portfolio which demonstrated the level of the parish council’s activity.  The council met a series of criteria set out by the Quality Parish scheme, proving that it is performing to a high standard and serving its community through the provision of services, information, communication and consultation.

Urchfont Parish Council joins eleven other Quality Accredited Councils in Wiltshire.  These councils can celebrate the fact that with this accreditation and its badge (or logo) of merit they prove to their electorate and to other partner organisations that their contribution to the community in which they operate is vibrant, inclusive and procedurally accurate.

The Wiltshire Association of Local Councils administers the Accreditation Panel for Quality Status.  Parish and town councils interested in further information about the scheme can contact Katie Fielding at the WALC office kfielding@communityfirst.org.uk
