Parish and town councils in Lancashire
Parish and town councils play an important role in representing local communities, improving local services and strengthening civic participation across Lancashire.
Lancashire County Council is committed to working collaboratively with parish and town councils to support local priorities, share information, and improve outcomes for residents. This page provides information about our partnership arrangements, key contacts, resources and opportunities to engage with the county council.
We want to keep our contact details as up to date as possible. If you are a Parish Clerk and your details change, please amend them via the online portal.
Parish and Town Council Charter
The Parish and Town Council Charter provides a framework for partnership working between Lancashire County Council and parish and town councils across Lancashire, helping to support effective communication, collaboration and mutual understanding.
The Charter is currently being reviewed and updated through the Parish and Town Council Working Group. A revised version will be published on this page once the review has been completed and agreed.
Lancashire County Council remains committed to working positively with parish and town councils to support strong and resilient local communities.
