According to these minutes the Parish Council is going to update their website.
What should the upgrade include? Firstly, to make the Parish Council legal. The Localism Act 2011 Chapter 7 Section 29 (7) states:
(7) A parish council must, if it has a website, secure that its register is published on its website.
The website therefore must publish the councillors register of interests on its website.
The second legal requirement is the Parish Council must publish a valid Publication Scheme on the website.
Other documents for publication are Code of Conduct and Complaints Procedure.
What else should be published and not legally required?
I would say the following:
Councils Accounts.
The Constitution.
Standing Orders.
Scheme of Delegation
Ron says: The first priority for a Council to make itself legal.
