Parish and Town Councils: Membership
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps the Government is taking to encourage greater diversity in parish and town council membership.
Answered by Jim McMahon
The government is committed to supporting councils at all levels of local government to attract talented members who are representative of the communities they serve. We welcome the work of organisations including the National Association of Local Councils and the Society of Local Council Clerks to encourage greater diversity in parish and town council membership.
