Quality Status Skegness Town Council - A Quality Council

Skegness Town Council was originally awarded Quality Town Status in 2005 and this was renewed in 2009 when the Town Council was "reaccredited".

The Quality Parish scheme was designed and launched in June 2003 (following the Government Rural White Paper 2000) and provides a benchmark minimum standard for parish and town councils and enables them to better represent the communities they serve. The scheme also aims to give enhanced relationships between local councils, principal authorities and community and voluntary sector organisation's.

In order to achieve Quality Status town and parish councils must demonstrate that they have reached the standard required by passing several tests including:

• Electoral Mandate
• Qualification of the Clerk
• Council Meetings
• Communications
• Annual Report
• Accounts and
• Code of Conduct
