The Lincolnshire Association
of Local Councils
information - guidance - support at your fingertips
Supporting Local Democracy
Nearly all parish councils in Lincolnshire, together with some parish meetings, are currently in membership of the Association. This means that their voice is heard collectively on local issues and at national level. It is hoped that all local councils will join the Association to avail themselves of the support available to them in these changing times for local government.
LALC sustains a positive working relationship with all principal authorities in Lincolnshire, and with the Lincolnshire branch of the Society of Local Council Clerks (SLCC).

Civility & Respect
Civility and respect should be at the heart of public life, and good governance is fundamental to ensuring an effective and well-functioning democracy at all levels. Updates and resources from NALC's Civility and Respect Project.
Member Portal
Our new portal is available to clerks and contains lots of useful links and information in one place. It is also our preferred way of dealing with enquiries. Member councils will receive details of how to access this via email.
Internal Audit
We'll offer you a mid-year audit which will go over your governance in depth, followed by a light touch audit at year-end when you can sign off your AGAR.
Website Maintenance
Is your council running a JADU website hosted by Lincolnshire County Council? Do you need assistance keeping it up to date? We can help.
