Frampton Cotterell Parish Council is very proud to have attained the Silver Award as part of the National Association of Local Councils (NALC)’s Local Councils Award Scheme.
About this award scheme, NALC says,
“The Local Council Award Scheme (LCAS) is tailored to celebrate the achievements of the finest parish and town councils while offering a structured framework to empower all councils to enhance and realise their full potential. This scheme allows councils to demonstrate adherence to sector standards, be evaluated by their peers, and establish conditions conducive to ongoing improvement.”
The framework for achieving the Silver Award in the Local Council Award Scheme is outlined as follows:
“The attainment of the Silver Award signifies that a council excels in governance, community engagement, and continuous improvement. Distinguished by going beyond mere legal obligations, quality councils emerge as leaders within their communities, consistently seeking opportunities to enhance and develop further.
To secure the Silver Award, a council not only fulfils all the requisites of the Bronze Award but also provides additional evidence showcasing exemplary governance, effective community engagement, and notable council improvement initiatives. Given the elevated level of this accomplishment, a council bestowed with the Silver Award may also qualify to exercise the general power of competence, underscoring its commitment to exceptional standards and proactive leadership.”
We are extremely proud of fulfilling the criteria for this Silver Award. Attaining this Silver Award represents an important achievement in itself, as well as demonstrating our continued commitment to ongoing improvement following on from our achieving the Foundation / Bronze award in September 2024.
Following this success, we are now working towards achieving Gold!
