Staveley Town Council has achieved the Bronze Award of the National Association of Local Council’s (NALC) Local Council Award Scheme.

 

The award scheme is a peer reviewed accreditation with stringent criteria to demonstrate excellence in governance and community engagement.  There are three levels of award, gold, silver and bronze, which drive up standards and promote best practice.  The Bronze Award demonstrates that a council meets the requirements for operating lawfully and according to standard practice.

 

The Council has been using the award scheme framework to improve its governance practices and develop its operations as part of its recovery programme following the publication of an investigation report in November 2023.

 

The Chairman of NALC congratulated the Council stating that this confirms that the Council achieves good practice in governance, community engagement and council improvement.  Furthermore, it shows that the Council has gone above and beyond the legal obligations by leading the community and continuously seeking opportunities to improve and develop even further.

 

A key feature of the award is openness and transparency, which the Council has achieved with its new website providing reports and documents about its activities and finances.

 

The Chair of the Council, Councillor Elaine Tidd, said “I’m very pleased that the Council has achieved this award, we’ve worked hard to improve things and this is proof that we are on the right track.”

 

She added: “The dedication of our Town Clerk and her team has made this possible and I would like to give my thanks to them all.”

 

The Town Clerk, Sabrina Doherty said “I’m thrilled that we have achieved this award. It was hard work pulling it all together over the past year but I’m fortunate to be supported by a great team who all contributed.”

 

The Council will not stop there, with ambitions to achieve the Silver award next.
