Town, village and parish council charter

The town, parish and village councils and North East Lincolnshire Borough Council have agreed to publish a charter which sets out how they aim to work together for the benefit of local people.

This Charter is the result of discussions locally to establish a new way of working and to confirm existing good practice and teamwork. It is underpinned by the shared principles of openness, mutual respect, honesty, responsibility, transparency and accessibility.

This charter:

• recognises the benefits of working in partnership and is underpinned by the shared principles of openness, mutual respect, honesty, responsibility, transparency and accessibility.
• provides a framework for working together based on improved communication and understanding as well as clarity regarding roles and responsibilities
• sets out how the Council will seek to promote local community life, provide practical support to town, parish and village councils whenever practicable and engage in planning processes
• provides a commitment to afford the Town/Parish and Village Councils the opportunity to comment before making any decision which affects their area and defines expectations in terms of information sharing
