Councillors

We are proud to announce that Churchill Parish Council was awarded Quality Council status on 24 April 2007. The Quality Parish and Town Council Scheme was launched by the government in 2003 to provide a benchmark minimum standard for parish and town councils across the country. The scheme aims to enable parish councils to work more closely with others in the delivery of local services and to better represent their local communities. Quality status brings real benefits, not only for the council, but also for the people who work with it and, more importantly, the community it serves. The council submitted a portfolio of documentation including the agenda and minutes of Parish Council meetings, copies of all our policies, details of how we communicate with our residents and details of our accounting systems. Only about 13% of town and parish councils in the ‘old Avon’ area, to which we are affiliated, have gained this status. Graham Turner, Chief Executive of North Somerset Council, sent the Council a letter of congratulation stating - 'I am very pleased to see that the hard work of Churchill Parish Council in providing the very best services to its local residents has been recognised through the achievement of reaching Quality Status'.
