Norfolk Association of Local Councils (Norfolkalc) is a member based organisation and membership is open to all Parish Councils, Town Councils and Parish Meetings in Norfolk.

The Association protects and promotes the interests, rights, functions and privileges of members in the performance of their duties and seeks to promote and develop the social, cultural and recreational life of their areas. We also promote a widespread and well-informed interest in local government.We are the first point of contact for all member councils in need of free advice on legal, financial and procedural matters. Questions will be answered either by our staff or national specialists depending on the nature and complexity of the enquiry

The Association is an independent body. The Annual General Meeting formulates policy and provides guidance. The Executive Committee manages the Association, and is elected from councillors nominated by member councils in each district. The administration is undertaken by our staff. To contact us:

Code of Conduct 2012 All councils must adopt a new code of conduct by July 1st 2012 - for more details click here For the latest information from Norfolk County Council on Public Rights of Way (PROW) Click here Please note that the electronic annual return page on the Audit Commission's website has now gone live.  All small body practitioners now have the option to enter key data for the annual return online before printing off a copy (or copies) for members to review and approve. We hope that this will assist local councils, Internal Drainage Boards and small bodies in completing annual returns and their audit more efficiently by eliminating delays caused by address or postal errors. Bodies may, of course, continue to use the paper version of the annual return.   The Electronic Annual Return is available for download from the following page http://www.audit-commission.gov.uk/audit-regime/support-guidance/Pages/Annualreturn.aspx. There are additional guidance notes on this page and links to each of the annual returns.     This electronic form of the Annual Return is to assist completion only - it does not allow for electronic submission as the hard copy requires a number of "live" signatures.
