Carlisle District Parish Charter

This Charter supports and informs partnership working between Carlisle City Council ("The District Council") and Parish Councils and Meetings ("The Parish Councils"). It is recognised in this Charter that both tiers of Local Government are equal partners.

Successful partnership working can only be achieved if both Partners understand and respect each other’s roles and work to compliment each other. It is recognised in this Charter that both the District and Parish Councils are important partners in representing the communities and groups that they serve.

This Charter sets out shared principles and expected behaviours in general terms but these constitute only the broadest of expectations. The Charter is supported by a series of "Formal Agreements" which define specific commitments on services, mutual support and interaction.
