Callington
Town Council has become only the seventh council in Cornwall to achieve Quality
Council status.
This government sponsored
scheme sets a list of criteria to meet and Callington has met all but one of
them for three years. The last hurdle was surmounted when we had a contested
election.
Apart from complying with
all statutory requirements and having a qualified Clerk, the Council had to
prove that it effectively communicated with its residents. Our Town Plan was
considered an excellent example of community participation and this newsletter,
the Annual Report and public sessions at our meetings were some of the other
examples.
Achieving Quality Council
status will also assist us in our negotiations with the County Council.
