West Lindsey Parish Charter

The relationship between West Lindsey District Council and parish and town councils.

Introduction

A parish charter helps to set out how parish and town councils and the district council can communicate and effectively work together. It helps to formalise relationships and set clear standards and expectations for everyone.

Our current parish charter was adopted in June 2020 following consultation with parish and town councils.
