Decision:
That the Maidstone Parish Charter – a framework to support effective relationships and partnership working between Maidstone Borough Council and Maidstone’s Parishes and Parish Councils within its administrative area be approved.
Minutes:
Sarah Robson, Housing and Inclusion Manager and Councillor John Perry, the Parish Charter champion introduced the Refresh of the Maidstone Parish Charter report. The Parish Charter described the terms of an effective and productive relationship between Maidstone Borough Council and all Parish Councils in Maidstone Borough, recognising the role of the Maidstone Committee of the Kent Association of Local Councils on behalf of Parishes within Maidstone.
Its purpose was:
· To provide a sound basis for close co-operation in the development and provision of excellent services for local people, both in Parishes and non-Parished areas within the Borough; and
· To support the evolution of the local Parish as an environment within which Parishioners wished to live, being compatible with the Localism Act 2011, which provide a new impetus for all tiers of local government.
RESOLVED:
That the Maidstone Parish Charter – a framework to support effective relationships and partnership working between Maidstone Borough Council and Maidstone’s Parishes and Parish Councils within its administrative area - be approved.
