Quality Council Scheme

The Quality Council scheme is open to all Parish and Town councils in England, irrespective of size. It aims to enable local councils to work more closely with others in the delivery of local services and to better represent their local communities.

Mawnan Parish Council achieved Quality status at the end of 2004, only the second council in the whole of Cornwall to achieve this accolade.

The achievement of Quality status brings real benefits, not only for the Quality council, but also for the people who work with it and, more importantly, the community it serves.

Quality status is high on the list of priorities for all local councils. The accreditation demonstrates an ability to deliver efficient services to local residents, and speak with greater authority to principal councils when seeking delegated functions which can be better carried out locally.
