Quality Parish Scheme

Quality Parish Status (QPS) is a charter mark proving to the electoratre and other agencies that a parish or town council is well run and working effectively on behalf of its community. Any parish or town council, regardless of its size, is welcome to apply for quality status. Councils attaining QPS may, if they wish, take on extra functions for the benefit of their communities, by negotiating with County and District Councils for the devolution of functions and services down to grassroots level.

Whitnash Town Council was one of the first councils to achieve Quality Parish status.
