Parish Charter

Parish and Town Councils and Parish Meetings are an important part of local government and have a vital role in acting on behalf of the communities they represent. North Yorkshire Council is committed to working with Parish and Town Councils and Parish Meetings across the county to connect with local communities, understand their needs and respond to their priorities.

This Charter has been developed in partnership with representatives of Parish and Town Councils and Parish Meetings in North Yorkshire and sets out how we will work together for the benefit of our communities. There is much work still to do to bring together the operations of all the eight councils involved in Local Government Reorganisation in North Yorkshire and new working arrangements will develop over time. The Charter recognises this and commits North Yorkshire Council to developing and reviewing areas and working arrangements for inclusion in the Charter in more detail. 

The Charter can be found here Parish Charter 2023
