Avon Local Councils Association (ALCA)
ALCA (Avon Local Councils Association) is a member organisation run by and for its member Parish and Town Councils and Parish Meetings (referred to as local councils), within the Unitary areas of Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES), North Somerset (NS), South Gloucestershire (SG) and Bristol City
The aims and objectives of the Association are to take such steps as may be necessary or desirable in the interest of local councils, and consistent with the objects of the National Association of Local Councils (NALC). These are
- To promote good local government
- To protect and promote the interests, rights, functions and privileges of Member Councils
- To assist Member Councils in the performance of their duties and to promote and develop the social, cultural and recreational life of the parishes, communities and villages
- To promote a widespread and well informed interest in local government.
Therefore it is our aim to REPRESENT, ADVISE, CONSULT, COMMUNICATE, TRAIN, INFORM and LISTEN. As the voice of local councils we welcome ideas and seek thoughts from all.
