Houghton Regis Town Council succeeds in gaining Quality Council Status
It is with great pleasure that the Town Council announces that it has been successful in being awarded the Quality Council status. This scheme was set up by central government to enable councils to demonstrate that they are representative, in touch with their communities, competent and capable of taking on an enhanced role in their community. It provides an assurance of quality to all those concerned with the council.
To attain Quality Status the Town Council had to demonstrate, through the production of evidence, that it met the requirements of a number different tests covering democracy, communication and accountability.
The Town Council are delighted that their hard work has been recognised and rewarded in this way.
In achieving this status there are many benefits to be gained both by the community, the town council and the principle councils of South Bedfordshire District Council and Bedfordshire County Council in terms of service delivery, access and responsiveness, partnership working and enhanced community involvement.
