Paul Hayward: independent councillor and a top parish clerk!

“All Saints Parish Council has been given Quality Foundation status – one of only six local authorities in Devon to achieve the accolade.

The award from the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) demonstrates that the authority has the required documentation and information in place for operating lawfully and according to standard practice.

The council also has policies for training its councillors and officers and so has the foundations for improvement and development in place.”

Wonder why only six councils in Devon have reached this status?
